I am migrating from UW's POP3 server (mbox), to Dovecote (mbox -> maildir).
Anyway, I am concerned about the Logging details offered by Dovecot, as I manage several details from the logging information provided by UW's Syslog information. Here's a sample of the UW information: Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6 ipop3d[15432]: pop3 service init from 66.207.133.233 Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6 ipop3d[15432]: Auth user=aewhale host=ns.ABS-CompTech.com [66.207.133.233] nmsgs=0/0 Oct 7 22:08:39 ns6 ipop3d[15432]: Logout user=aewhale host=ns.ABS-CompTech.com [66.207.133.233] nmsgs=0 ndele=0 The first time I connected to the server to test the information, I got the following: Oct 7 20:22:17 ns6 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc26 starting up Oct 7 20:22:37 ns6 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<aewhale>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Oct 7 20:23:44 ns6 dovecot: POP3(aewhale): Disconnected: Logged out top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/800,size=1576887 None of the other connections reported information about the mailbox or the connections. Here is what I see: Oct 7 20:39:14 ns6 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: method=PLAIN, rip=66.207.133.233, lip=66.207.133.228 Oct 7 20:59:42 ns6 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: method=LOGIN, rip=71.162.15.2, lip=66.207.133.228 Oct 7 21:39:12 ns6 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: method=LOGIN, rip=66.207.133.233, lip=66.207.133.228 Oct 7 21:39:42 ns6 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected: method=LOGIN, rip=71.162.15.2, lip=66.207.133.228 I never see the POP3 or Login messages any more. Can someone tell me why? Is this not correctly working on my server yet? -- Albert E.
