Hello,
I am looking for some advice. I am trying to force dovecot to run to the same log as exim does. In dovecot.conf I put the exim log path /var/log/exim/mainlog. I restarted dovecot and the process worked fine.
However at midnight exim log file is rotated and since then dovecot stops logging to this log.
In syslog.conf I put: mail.* /var/log/exim/mainlog
And in newsyslog.conf I have:
/var/log/exim/mainlog mailnull:mail 640 60 * @T00 Z
I used to have an N flag next to Z but after reading the man I realized that its job is not to inform other processes about log creation.
My qeustion is how do I set up things that dovecot and exim happily write to one log without having to restart dovecot at midnight?
I am fairly new to FreeBSD which I use so I beg your patience with me.
Thanks!
