[Dovecot] LMTP logging configuration
Hi,
I'm using Dovecot 2.0.1, and I log to a custom syslog facility (local0) in the
main configuration (I want a separate log file, but I want to make use of
rsyslogd's capabilities). I overwrite the syslog facility for LDA (mail) to
have all delivery related stuff in /var/log/mail.log, and that works fine.
I tried to do the same for LMTP with protocol lmtp { syslog_facility = mail }
but this has no effect, LMTP logs to local0. Is this supposed to work, or is this not implemented at all? If not, is using a logfile in main config, but syslog in lmtp supported?
Thanks Rainer

The problem is that all logging goes through log process, which currently only supports a single logging destination. But .. I think you can make lmtp processes bypass log process by setting:
service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L }

This has no effect (logging still with global syslog_facility). Thanks anyway for your assistance. This is a very minor issue for me.

Looks like there was a bug. Fixed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/7fef89fea00e

Indeed. Works now with 2.0.2. Thanks.
