.. specifically mail_log plugin for protocol doveadm {}

I myself made that mistake many times and loaded mail_log only for protocol imap {} and then wondering why events are not logged.

Hello.

dovecot 2.3.13 here, using

doveadm -c /etc/my.conf expunge -A mailbox SomeFolder savedbefore 31d

and my.conf includes

plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename save }

unfortunately expunged messages are not logged anywhere.

Tried -v and -D to see if these will get logged to output (so I could pipe these to syslog) but verbose/debug also don't show which messages were expunged.

Is there a way to get this logged?

Log like regular dovecot logs would be nice:

doveadm(arekm): pid=<14783>, expunge: box=INBOX, uid=0, msgid=E1l2ZJp-0002NM-Vv@example.com, size=15077

I didn't. Added

protocol doveadm { mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_log notify acl }

and now I'm getting logs on stderr. Nice!

Can I get this logged into syslog without my own redirection?

Trying

doveadm -o 'log_path=syslog' -o 'syslog_facility=mail' ... expunge ...

but I'm getting these on stderr only.

Improvement for doveadm: https://github.com/dovecot/core/pull/156

that allows logging into syslog
