Hello,
here is my dovecot.conf ------snip---------- log_path = /var/log/maillog info_log_path = /var/log/maillog -------snip------------- Is it possible, than logrotate rotates the maillog, and dovecot wants to write to it, if the maillog is not available at the moment, dovecot writes to audit.log? I don't know. Have you any ideas?
greetings ralf

Hello,
I have a curious phenomenon. Dovecot logs normally to /var/log/maillog. If I restart my server, dovecot loggs to /var/log/audit/audit.log. If I restart dovecot, dovecot loggs to /var/log/maillog again. And I think, wenn logrotate is restarting, dovecot logs to audit.log. But I don't know why. Any Ideas?
By default Dovecot logs to syslog. Maybe your syslog configuration changes after boot?
