Problem with Log-File

3 May 2021


      Hello !
We want to log error in a File directly : /var/log/IRV_MdM/Dovecot_main.log.
We got this error: 'Can't open log file /var/log/IRV_MdM/Dovecot_main.log:
Permission denied'
Please have a look at our Problem. Is it a bug or an incorrect config ?
Our Dir-Structure is: (for testing, we changed all to mod 777)
