Hello Timo,

On a production (by that I mean many users) dovecot-1.1.8/Maidir server where ACL plugin has been enabled, I ran on a log verbosity problem :

For some reason (in fact, due to mbox -> Maildir migration script), some people have in their Maildir a .procmail.logfile file.

The problem is that dovecot (or the ACL plugin) wants to find a dovecot-acl file in what it would like to be a directory, and then complains :

dovecot: IMAP(xxxxxxxx): open(/courriel/boites/xxxxxxxx/.procmail.logfile/dovecot-acl) failed: Not a directory

Such a behavior makes the log file grow too much too quickly.

Note that my setup regarding log verbosity is at its minimal/default (except for proctitle) :

verbose_ssl = no verbose_proctitle = yes auth_verbose = no mail_debug = no auth_debug = no auth_debug_passwords = no

One more thing : would I have a log (or in what verbosity setup would I have one) line complaining about no-acl in the system wide acl directory :

acl = vfile:/opt/dovecot/dovecot-acls:cache_secs=300

as a matter of fact, /opt/dovecot/dovecot-acls is empty for me (I don't need it for now).

thanks
