I still see the issue below. Is there anyone running separate LMTP 
logging that could check if they experience the same issue?

Best regards

Dear all

I have setup separate pop3/imap log "/var/log/dovecot" and lmtp 
delivery log "/var/log/dovecot-deliver".

After rotating logfiles, i run "doveadm log reopen". I see that my 
pop3/imap log "/var/log/dovecot" is used straight away, but my lmpt log 
"/var/log/dovecot-deliver" isn't used at first. After some time, usually 
a few minutes, logs are being written to this file anyway. But if I 
compare this to my maillog, it misses some deliveries just after the log 
rotation.

Is there any problems with this configuration that should be corrected?
