maybe you should explain why not using syslog as everybody else
Why do you think you speak for everybody else? Because you sure as hell don't, so stop pretending to.
WTF is in the air this week, it seems to contain a few self proclaimed god's who apparently know what everyone else does, or, at least thought they did.
I too have always used dovecot logging to specific files for over a decade, I know plenty of others too.
Anyone who knows anything about syslog on large production servers knows avoiding it is best practice, it's also about the only thing DJB and I ever agreed on.
But back on topic, I think it would be an excellent option, less work for dovecot, in forseeable future though, editing source would be the way to go.
