Since there is no reserved syslog facility for imapd, it uses the mail facility. There are 8 "local" facilities which can be used, but it would be presumptious for imapd to arbitrarily select one. Consequently, what you must do is edit the openlog() call in env_unix.c to change from LOG_MAIL to LOG_LOCAL[0-7] and recompile. Then, in your /etc/syslog.conf file, define where you want local[0-7] to go. So, although it is "easy", it requires recompiling. Please keep in mind that the location of the log file is defined by syslog and not by imapd. Thus, you have to do syslog configuration. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
