similar to: Syslog, Dovecot, and LogWatch

Hello, When running multiple instances of dovecot on the same host (or running multiple docker container), it is hard to distinguish logs from different processes: the syslog entries are all prefixed with the same identifier "dovecot" It is hardcoded here: https://github.com/dovecot/core/blob/master/src/lib-master/master-service.c#L420 Would it make sense to use the already implemented

Having FC3 systems and utilizing Dovecot, I have come to rely on some of the information I get from the daily logwatch run. Logwatch, by default, doesn't properly recognize dovecot's information in the messages file, but it is easy to tweak. The patch below will give you some statistics regarding POP3 and IMAP usage. I believe I grabbed all of the differences in the unified diff

I have several network appliances, and I want aggregate their syslog output for later analysis. Eventually I might think about a Splunk box, but for the interim I'm hoping to just build a CentOS 6 syslog server and have it aggregate everything on it for quick review. I installed rsyslog and am looking through the /etc/rsyslog.conf file for what I configure to (a) listen for syslog input from

I've added this to my dhcpd.conf log-facility local6; and added this to my syslog.conf local6.* /var/log/dhcpd.log It's still writing to dhcpd info to both log files. How do I stop this. I've googled but all suggested modifications I've made to the dhcpd.conf causes dhcpd to not start. Thanks Dan

Hi, We're having some issues with certain messages not being able to be read by Dovecot. Can anyone tell me under what conditions the error messages below could be caused? Aug 17 15:58:26 server.tc.umn.edu imap(user): : [ID 887855 local6.error] Next message unexpectedly lost from 1913995 Aug 17 15:58:26 server.tc.umn.edu last message repeated 2 times Aug 17 15:58:26 server.tc.umn.edu

Hi folks. We're moving users from rc24 and 27 to 1.0.0. On four mailboxes so far we've seen these errors after the move (quick and dirty anonymizing follows): Apr 23 13:22:41 server.umn.edu dovecot: [ID 107833 local6.info] imap-login: Login: user=<USER>, pid=<9046>, method=PLAIN, rip=***.***.***.***, lip=***.***.***.***, TLS Apr 23 13:22:41 server.umn.edu dovecot: [ID

Hi, LOG_NDELAY is the only option for openlog() in dovecot 1.1.2. Wouldn't be LOG_NDELAY|LOG_PID as option parameter much more useful? Without logging the pid, it is impossible to match 'Disconnected' log entries and the corresponding session start/login. Therefore I suggest to use LOG_NDELAY|LOG_PID in the options of i_set_failure_syslog() at all 6 occurrences which passes it

We have for many years been a UW-IMAP site, with users having their own traditional, private, mbox-format INBOX and folders: almost (but not quite) no complications of shared or simultaneous access. We have just completed a transparent transition to dovecot (official 1.0.0 release). But we have one residual issue affecting one important user account. UW-IMAP specifically only allows single

Hi, I'm currently running Samba 3.0.22 (on an Ubuntu 6.06 [Dapper] server). I have VFS full_audit set up successfully to log user activity using the LOCAL6 facility. I also have syslog configured to redirect all messages from this facility to /var/log/samba/log.audit This is working fine. However, I've recently been getting lines in /var/log/syslog that look like they're coming

Hmm, this is peculiar! This mailbox has been unchanged on my test server since September. I've been using it to test each new version of Dovecot just after I've compiled it. When beta1 was released, I opened this mbox with no problems. However, when I upgraded to beta2, I got "file size unexpectedly shrinked in mbox file /export/mail/a/24/vis99003/INBOX (16895967 vs 16899267)".

Today I tried to import mail directly on the server's home directory on the server. I copied it directly. I didn't use the imap protocol. Dovcot didn't recognize these emails. I didn't display these imported emails on my page, recalculating disk quotas. It will not increase the used capacity. I try to send an email to this user, dovcot recognizes all the emails, and recalculates

Upon rebooting our Dovecot server, I got these: Mar 16 09:49:16 peridot.tc.umn.edu dovecot: [ID 195972 local6.info] Dovecot v1.0.rc27 starting up Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain last message repeated 1 time Mar 16 09:49:18 myhost.mydomain dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to

Hi ! While browsing Linux manpages (man 3 syslog) I noticed that the manual says that the LOG_AUTH facility is deprecated use LOG_AUTHPRIV instead. Is there a good reason why OpenSSH doesn't have an option to use LOG_AUTHPRIV facility ? (Looks like that tcpd/telnet etc. use the AUTHPRIV facility (in RH6.2)). Shouldn't be too hard to add the AUTH_PRIV facility ? Cheers, -Jarno --

Hi, we recently switched from Imap-Uw to Dovecot as a pop3 server. I was wondering why people who have the flag 'Leave messages on server' in their email client (Outlook, Outlook Expres) that they receive duplicates of their stored mail? Is it because Dovecot doesn't know that the messages has already been popped by Imap Uw or is the email client which thinks there are new messages

Hi, We're seeing a new error under Dovecot 1.1.8 that we haven't seen before. Sep 14 09:00:10 hostname dovecot: [ID 684838 local6.error] child 638 (imap) killed with signal 10 This is being seen under dovecot 1.1.8, on Solaris 10u6. This is the only server we've got running this software. We're not seeing this on any of our other 5 servers running the 1.1.x series. Namely

We recently switch from up-imapd to dovecot But many users are reporting that they cannot access certain mail folders. The log file has: imap(dws): Sep 14 00:06:19 Error: File isn't in mbox format: /home/research/dws/mail/TaskDL The files in the logs are "MBX mail folders", not "ASCII English text" as are the folders that can be read under Outlook. Can anyone tell me

I am playing around with dovecot and want to use local filesystem for indexing. But whenever I open a new imap connection the following warning is shown: Apr 30 10:14:42 beira dovecot: Mailbox indexes in /app/home/gasi are in NFS mount. You must set mmap_disable=yes to avoid index corruptions. If you're sure this check was wrong, set nfs_check=no. /app/home is a NFS mounted filesystem, but

Hi. My goal is to use rsync to syncronize box1 and box2. On box2, I have a tapedrive which I write the data I syncronize from box1 every night. On box1, my /etc/rsyncd.conf looks like this: root@box1# cat /etc/rsyncd.conf max connections = 1 syslog facility = local6 [tmp] path = /tmp read only = yes comment = export of /tmp hosts allow = box2 auth users
