Re: [Dovecot] Maillog rotates, but dovecot still writes logs into old logfile?

The only solution I did found, is adding into /etc/logrotate.d/syslog command to restart dovecot:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot restart >/dev/null 2>&1

As per the wiki, dovecot listens to SIGUSR1 to reopen a log. You want to simply use a command like:

/bin/kill -USR1 cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid 2>/dev/null 2> /dev/null || true
