I'm getting this ...
May 10 12:45:01 eth0 postfix/local[3416]: A788D685F7: to=< xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.net>, relay=local, delay=13, delays=13/0/0/0.03, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot/error.log: Permission denied )
So I'm looking at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA to see what I can do about it. I would have hoped some comments in the example config file would have mentioned this and suggested a default practice solution. Is this something few people or many people encounter (among those using dovecot/deliver from Postfix)?
If I do as the wiki describes and make separate log files for dovecot/deliver to use, do I just make them owned by Postfix? It would seem to me a different directory might be more helpful (absent log files could be created by having the directory permissions. I'm also thinking in terms of log rotations, too ... and I prefer to do log rotations by date stamping rather than pushing sequence numbers (the legacy log rotation).
Any chance there are %-style variables I can use in log file/path names to
make log files automatically named by the date (and maybe time) ... kind of
like in a shell script I would do: date +/path/to/tree/%Y/%m/%d.log or
such.
