I'm trying to shorten the dovecot-example.conf nowadays, which can't really be done by adding more lines :) But yes, the wiki link is definitely useful. I also changed the first line to be a bit better: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/37c0111961f5

Hi Timo, as rawlog does not longer work here since update to dove 1.2 latest it might be better to have more debug with rawlog, cause i cant found anything in the logs why it stopped working

There is always only one reason: dovecot.rawlog directory doesn't exist in user's home directory. You could set mail_debug=yes and Dovecot logs the home directory. Make sure it's correct.

Timo, i checked it ten times, all is corect, and it stopped working directly with update, so i might broken something with merging debian versions but how should i find i bug if there is no verbose log to it, if ill found that something might be complet broken now with dovecot then i have to reinstall the testserver

Hi Robert,
Hi Timo, as rawlog does not longer work here since update to dove 1.2 latest it might be better to have more debug with rawlog, cause i cant found anything in the logs why it stopped working I've succesfully used rawlog with dovecot 1.2 (r8980), so it is not broken in 1.2 in general. Probably something with your specific setup then. Perhaps a permission problem?

Hi Timo,
I'm trying to shorten the dovecot-example.conf nowadays, which can't really be done by adding more lines :) But yes, the wiki link is definitely useful. I also changed the first line to be a bit better: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/37c0111961f5 I have the feeling that this is slightly contradictory. I agree that the example config should be concise, but perhaps the MainConfig wiki page should not be so short, since it is the main reference about how config options work. On the other hand, this is not directly related to the configuration variable, so linking the wiki should work just fine.
Thanks for the commit!
