Public bug reported: The dovecot package does not include a logrotate configuration. If dovecot is configured to log to file rather than syslog its log file will become unmanageable. There is a recommended configuration here:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Logging # dovecot SIGUSR1: Re-opens the log files. /var/log/dovecot*.log { missingok notifempty delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } This configuration will not interfere if dovecot is configured to use syslog. ** Affects: dovecot (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Include logrotate configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309816 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
