In rc2 sources, the rawlog directory seem to be hard-coded to be looked for in $HOME.
I'd like to have a way to centralized the place where rawlog files are, in order to be able :
These files are really only useful for debugging and tracing purposes, and Dovecot does not need them to operate. Do you need these files for a particular purpose?
Thanks for your answer. I was actually thinking of rawlog because of a mysterious case of message loss I had once on a previous beta or rc release (with thunderbird).
My idea was that, with rawlog on, you may have a proof that, in case of a message apparently "lost", it's not dovecot that loses it but the UA that ask for it's deletion.
Quite likely it'll just send your disk IO load through the roof, and degrade the performance of everyone trying to use your server. In other words, maybe not something you'd want turned on on a production server or one which you want reasonable performance out of.
I have to agree indeed. So maybe the idea described above is relevant only for a pre-production test.
