Okay in dovecot.conf I set the fallowing settings

log_path = /var/log/dovecot

info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot

Then I setup log rotation for that file (using logrotate). But after it does the rotation. Dovecot dies.

Now I know why this happens. But should it ? To over come this I now have it set to stop dovecot and start dovecot after it's done dealing with the log file.
