[Dovecot] deliver & per user log file
Hello,
is there a way to log Dovecot deliver actions in user home directory like procmail did (e.g. in ~/Mail/deliver.log)?
Greetings,

This should do what you want:
protocol lda { (...) log_path = %h/Mail/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = %h/Mail/dovecot-deliver.log (...) }

Hello, thanks for feedback. I've tried these settings earlier, but I'm getting following error: Can't open log file %h/Mail/deliver.log: No such file or directory
Creating deliver.log file manually and/or giving him wide permissions won't help. I think deliver won't expand '%h' parameter correctly.

What version do you use? Do you have tried "~/Mail/deliver.log"?

I should start with this info ;) I'm running 1.1.7 I've tried with many combinations: ~/Mail/deliver.log; Mail/deliver.log; deliver.log; %h/Mail/deliver.log - without effect

OK, I checked the sources and there is indeed no variable expansion code for this parameters. So for now, I don't see how it is possible from within dovecot. There are probably some cheesy ways to do it via filtering for some syslog daemons, but I feel that variables and "~" should be expanded here. As this should be no complicated fix, maybe when Timo reads this he introduces it in the next version.
Changing two lines in deliver.c and recompiling could provisionally work (untested):
Line 685: log_path = expand_mail_env( getenv("LOG_PATH"), get_var_expand_table(username, getenv("HOME")) );
Line 698: info_log_path = expand_mail_env( getenv("INFO_LOG_PATH"), get_var_expand_table(username, getenv("HOME")) );

Now 'log_path = %h/.MAIL/deliver.log' works for me! Thank you, Thomas!

Same here. Really nice. Is there any chance this feature could be added to the 1.1 branch? Regards Miguel
