[Dovecot] Enable mail logger plugin
Hello,
I'm trying to get more info about user activity (especially when they delete some email). So, I follow info from http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailLog to enabled mail logger plugin, but I don't see anything in my logs.
Can you tell me what I'm missing ?
Thanks.

It is quite tough to read through such a long config. Skimming through though, and I am not an expert at all, it looks like your mail_plugins line comes in front of other mail_plugins lines. Maybe the later ones override yours?
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_log notify and this works nicely, maybe because local.conf will be executed after
In /etc/dovecot/local.conf I have the other config files? (That line also keeps the previously requested ones…)

# doveconf -n ... mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mail_plugins = quota mail_log notify mail_privileged_group = mail mail_uid = 5000 ... protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 80 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota antispam } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 30 mail_plugins = quota }
I see "mail_plugins = quota mail_log notify" at the top there, but in the protocol imap block it's "mail_plugins = quota imap_quota antispam". Doesn't the imap block override the global setting?

@Alexandre: You've removed the "$mail_plugins" in the IMAP section as Peter already pointed out?

I'm not sure to fully understand how mail_plugins directive works.
Please correct, if I'm wrong :
Global mail_plugins lists common plugin used by all protocol :
mail_plugins = quota mail_log notify Later, within each protocol declaration, I need to reference $mail_plugins variable (i.e. mail_plugins = $mail_plugins …)
Each protocol can use its own mail_plugins with an override :
protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 80 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota antispam } In that case mail_log notify are not enabled for protocol imap.
So, I have two options :
List all mail_plugins explicitly for protocol imap, like this : mail_plugins = quota mail_log notify protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 80 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota antispam mail_log notify }
Use $mail_plugins variable to include global mail_plugins into protocol imap : mail_plugins = quota mail_log notify protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 80 mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota antispam }

consider it as a variable like in the shell, PHP or perl....
Please correct, if I'm wrong :
Global mail_plugins lists common plugin used by all protocol :
global mail_plugins just assigns a variable, which is used as default, if the setting is missing.
mail_plugins = quota mail_log notify Later, within each protocol declaration, I need to reference $mail_plugins variable (i.e. mail_plugins = $mail_plugins …)
yes, if you want to include the previously defined value.
Each protocol can use its own mail_plugins with an override :
protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 80 mail_plugins = quota imap_quota antispam } In that case mail_log notify are not enabled for protocol imap.
Yep.
So, I have two options :
- List all mail_plugins explicitly for protocol imap, like this :
- Use $mail_plugins variable to include global mail_plugins into protocol imap :
Yes, whichever suits your particular need more.

I've reworked my configuration and now it works as expected. Here is what it looks like now :
mail_plugins = quota mail_log notify
protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve }
protocol imap { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_quota antispam }
protocol pop3 { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins }
Thanks all for your help and for good explanations.
Alexandre.
