[Dovecot] Request for additional logging
Hi Timo,
First, thanks very much for dovecot, you are doing a fine thing making it open source, and it is working very well here.
It would be helpful to me if there were more logging options available. For example, I would like to see a record of each email deleted, with the filename (if maildir), and size in the log.
I haven't been able to find much documentation on logging at all. Have I just not been looking in the right place? If so, I would appreciate any enlightenment offered.
Thanks in advance,
- Richard

See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailLog
It won't log the size or the filename though. Should be pretty easy
to modify the sources to log them too. Maybe I'll make it
configurable some day what it logs.

That would great! I took a quick look at the sources, but could not easily see where to add this to the logging. But then again I'm much more comfortable with perl or php. [grin]
I really appreciate your quick response to my question. Thanks again.

src/plugins/mail-log/mail-log-plugin.c -> mail_log_action() change
the i_info() to something like:
i_info("%s: uid=%u, msgid=%s%s, size=%"PRIuUOFF_T", filename=%s", action, mail->uid, msgid == NULL ? "(null)" : str_sanitize(msgid, MSGID_LOG_LEN), mailbox_str, mail_get_physical_size(mail), mail_get_special (mail, MAIL_FETCH_UIDL_FILE_NAME));

Beautiful! That works great. Thanks very much.
