dovecot - Feb 2007 - selective logging

>From the wiki:
log_path     Use this logfile instead of syslog(). /dev/stderr can be used if
you want to use stderr for logging (ONLY /dev/stderr - otherwise it is closed).
(I dont understand the above references to the use of stderr)


info_log_path     For informational messages, use this logfile instead of the
default
(What exactly is an informational message, and what is the default?)

Can I selectively suppress logging like:

Feb  5 11:52:15 ls1 imap(iamelel): File isn't in mbox format:
/gfg0/iamelel//claudia/ligplot/NQ10/ligplot.bonds

Or do I have to turn off logging entirely?

Thanks,
Terry.

Took a while for me to figure out what the ONLY thing meant. I changed
this now to:

# Log file to use for error messages, instead of sending them to syslog.
# /dev/stderr can be used to log into stderr.

Just ignore the stderr thing.

Changed to:

# Log file to use for informational and debug messages.
# Default is the same as log_path.

Informational messages are mostly things like "user logged in",
"user
logged out".

Not really. Why do you have non-mbox files in the users' mail
directories?
