All,
Running dovecot 2.3.10 on a CentOS 7.x and logging via syslog seems to stop when i restart rsyslog process. Reload doesnt get it working again only a dovecot restart. Tested this with dovecot 2.2.36 and this did not exhibit the same behaviour.
systemctl restart dovecot rsyslog ----- this gets a working state
systemctl restart rsyslog ------------- this restarts syslog other processes like exim continue to log but dovecot stops
systemctl reload dovecot -------------- this has no impact logging still does not work
systemctl restart dovecot ------------- this fixes the issue.
Are there any changes to the log process between 2.2 and 2.3 that might explain this ?
