Hello all, I have dovecot running under daemontools and I can't see dovecot-lda in action when I read the logs. I've set the logs to /dev/stderr because daemontools redirects /dev/stderr to /var/log/dovecot/current. The dovecot server works fine and I know that dovecot-lda is actually doing the delivery, because the sieve facility is working as well. I can get lda log working -but only on syslog- if I override the log_path in this way:

protocol lda { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve log_path = }

I'm calling dovecot-lda in the usual qmail way. This is my .qmail-default:

|/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER

As running dovecot under daemontools seems to be a common practice among qmail users, could any of you give me an hint on how dovecot should be configured to achieve the purpose?

Thanks in advance. My doveconf follows
