Enabling mail_log plugin and/or lazy_expunge plugin would have helped more (both mentioned in my previous mail).
Sorry - I thought I have enabled it, but maybe I did something wrong with the configuration and it was not enabled:
here is what I did in order to enable mail_log:
syslog_facility = local5
mail_debug = yes
plugin { # Events to log. Also available: flag_change append mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename # Group events within a transaction to one line. #mail_log_group_events = no # Available fields: uid, box, msgid, from, subject, size, vsize, flags # size and vsize are available only for expunge and copy events. #mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size }
You're missing: mail_plugins = mail_log
grep 'pop3.*mmanzoni.*del=[^0]' /var/log/dovecot.log
or wherever those POP3 disconnection messages are logged, i.e. you should find lots of messages with:
grep 'pop3.*mmanzoni.*del=0' /var/log/dovecot.log
OK, tried the following - I have varoius log files
grep 'pop3.*mmanzoni.*del=[^0]' deliver.log*
and got nothing
But with:
grep 'pop3.*mmanzoni.*del=0' deliver.log*
There are log entries listed since December 12? (So they haven't gotten deleted from the logs already?)
Also what kind of tools are ever accessing mails? Is it just Dovecot LDA + IMAP + POP3? No doveadm or any external tools?
