v2.1.2 added support for "session IDs", which is a 9 year unique identifier for that specific IMAP/POP3 connection. Initially I thought it would only be useful for tracking connections going through Dovecot proxies to backends (the session ID is forwarded)
Sounds like an interesting debugging feature.

What does your mail_log_prefix look like?
Can you document the needed variable at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables please?
- Does this change break someone's auth log line parsing?
We don't do any parsing, just sending logs to a central syslog server for debugging purposes.
- Does the auth prefix look prettier with or without <> around session id? :)
It should be separated using a fixed name like session=... for easy parsing.
