Dovecot lmtp doesn't log

[Tomislav Perisic]

Hi,

We have 2 servers, server A and server B.

Server A has:

Postfix
dovecot-2.2.33.2-1.el6.x86_64

Server B has:

dovecot-2.2.33.2-1.el6.x86_64
dovecot-pigeonhole-2.2.33.2-1.el6.x86_64

Server A receives email on postfix, dovecot then takes that email from
postfix and proxies it to Server B Dovecot. Dovecot on Server B takes the
proxied email and delivers it with lmtp to the user inboxes.

The problem is that the dovecot on server B Doesn't log anything regarding
the emails that are being delivered to the mailbox via lmtp.

Dovecot on server A logs everything perfectly regarding the proxy, so my
assumption is that there is an issue with Dovecot lmtp logging. We changed
the logging from syslog directly to a file and we noticed the same problem,
missing log entries.

We also tried turning on verbose logging and it didn't help.

Server B:

Red Hat  6.7 x86_64
