[Dovecot] Logging

Hi,

when I point the logs into a file, the file is being used, and all the logs are being written fine. However, when I use the syslog_facility (not multiple, and not the point to file method) I get messages in syslog that are labeled as mail.info or mail.error. All these work fine, but there are messages from deliver that are labeled user.info and user.error. I just want to redirect all messages from dovecot and deliver to be labeled as mail.* and not user.*

thanks,

  You mean even if you set log_path and info_log_path to point to files,
  they're not used? Then it sounds like deliver isn't even reading that
  config file, or there's something else weird going on. Try with deliver
  -c /etc/dovecot.conf

  Also you could try this patch:
  http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2007-January/007476.html

  And then set "syslog_facility = mail" and see if it changes anything.

  You don't have multiple syslog_facility settings in dovecot.conf, right?
