Re: [Dovecot] how to limit size of dovecot.log

I've done some searching and maybe I'm missing something... I have a
remote dovecot and postfix server running on debian 5. I then have a
local fetchmail server that retrieves email from the dovecot server
via pop3s every 5 minutes.

The problem is that the /var/log/dovecot.log file has grown to be
over 1.1GiB over a period of less than 1 year.

Is there a way to limit the size of the dovecot.log file, or do I
have to run a monthly cron job or something to take care of it for me?

On Debian that should happen automatically, via the logrotate package.
Probably installing it is enough.
