Hi,
I'm using Dovecot 2.0.1, and I log to a custom syslog facility (local0) in
the
main configuration (I want a separate log file, but I want to make use of
rsyslogd's capabilities). I overwrite the syslog facility for LDA (mail) to
have all delivery related stuff in /var/log/mail.log, and that works fine.
I tried to do the same for LMTP with
protocol lmtp {
syslog_facility = mail
}
but this has no effect, LMTP logs to local0. Is this supposed to work, or is
this not implemented at all? If not, is using a logfile in main config, but
syslog in lmtp supported?
Thanks
Rainer

I think you can make lmtp processes bypass log process by setting: service lmtp { executable = lmtp -L }

Thanks anyway for your assistance. This is a very minor issue for me. Rainer
