[Dovecot] Logging commands
Hello all,
is there a way to make dovecot log the commands it gets from its clients both in imap and pop3? I need to log when messages are deleted so I can tell to the customer when and from which IP address his/her mailbox was emptied. I'm trying to track down problems with M$ Windows Live Mail clients that seem to loose messages now and then.
Luciano.

My conf.d/10-logging.conf for dovecot 2.0.12 contains
| # mail_log plugin provides more event logging for mail processes. | plugin { | # Events to log. Also available: flag_change append | mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename flag_change | # Group events within a transaction to one line. | #mail_log_group_events = no | # Available fields: uid, box, msgid, from, subject, size, vsize, flags | # size and vsize are available only for expunge and copy events. | mail_log_fields = uid box from subject msgid size | }
Maybe that helps you out.

Like Frank already replied, http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailLog is probably the best solution for this. But to get the exact commands you could also use http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Debugging/Rawlog
