No, I am not, I pointed out that dovecot does not writ ether logs, but that is a task generally managed by syslogd. then I said that in my case it was rsyslogd.

the only lines in doveconf -n that relate to logging are the two lines I posted. The rest of dovecot's logging properly shows up in /var/log/dovecot, only the bcc delivery seems to error out.

I never said postfix was writing to dovecot's log. What gave you that idea?
