Using FreeBSD-7.2 and Dovecot v1.2.4
what user does dovecot use to write to its log file? I have the logfile located in the /var/log directory.
I have Postfix configured to use 'virtual' users and use dovecot for delivery.
While dove can write to the file when accessed for POP services, when accessed via Postfix, I get this error message:
Oct 25 07:02:15 scorpio postfix/pipe[56956]: B01BD2287E: to=<user@domain.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=220, delays=220/0.01/0/0.04, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot.log: Permission denied )
I have used the following ownership types for the file:
- root:wheel
- dovecot:dovecot
- root:dovecot
- dovecot:wheel
The only thing that works all the time is to give the file full r/w (0666) permission. That seems extreme.
