Hello,
I plan a migration to dovecot and have concerns about the amount of logged data. On a testsystem dovecot produced 1TB syslog per day with a comparable amount of pop3 sessions.
The current server log to STDOUT which is connected to multilog (circular buffer, http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html) That way I can have a look at the last activities to any time.
I like to have that in dovecot too. But since dovecot uses syslog it's not possible to adopt 1:1
Any ideas? Thanks
What's wrong with good old sysslog, or why don't you use Splunk or some other proper grown-up logging tool ? Relying on STDOUT sounds like a recipe for disaster.
