dovecot - Oct 2011 - "doveadm log reopen" don't reopen separate lmtp log

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?

The problem isn't lmtp itself, it's that you're using -L parameter,
which causes LMTP processes to open the log files directly. The only way to
reopen the log files is to restart those LMTP processes. "doveadm
reload" should do it.
