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

Tere.

I use:

log_path = /var/log/maillog info_log_path = /var/log/maillog

And into /var/log are:

maillog maillog.1 maillog.2 maillog.3

Now when log files are rotating at 04:00 (maillog > maillog.1) dovecot still keeps login into maillog.1 and not into maillog, where sendmail, etc writes logs.

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

/var/log/maillog {

postrotate

/usr/bin/killall -HUP 

syslogd

/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot restart >/dev/null 

2>&1

endscript

}

Any other solution?
