I have been running FreeBSD since 1997, so I know quite a lot about it! I know about /etc/syslog.conf, but you do realize now that you are conflicting yourself?
No, I am not, I pointed out that dovecot does not writ ether logs, but that is a task generally managed by syslogd. then I said that in my case it was rsyslogd.
You want to provide doveconf -n output and get help, or figure it out yourself.
the only lines in doveconf -n that relate to logging are the two lines I posted. The rest of dovecot's logging properly shows up in /var/log/dovecot, only the bcc delivery seems to error out.
I run dovecot and Exim (MTA) on FreeBSD. I don't use syslogd to do the logging as the same can be controlled within the respective daemons. So, figure out what you have done to make Postfix want to write to /var/log/dovecot.log.
I never said postfix was writing to dovecot's log. What gave you that idea?
