[Dovecot] dovecot logs to audit.log not to maillog

[Ralf Heidenreich]

Hello,

here is my dovecot.conf
------snip----------
log_path = /var/log/maillog
info_log_path = /var/log/maillog
-------snip-------------
Is it possible, than logrotate rotates the maillog, and dovecot wants to 
  write to it, if the maillog is not available at the moment, dovecot 
writes to audit.log?
I don't know.
Have you any ideas?

greetings ralf
