You don't get this error, when receiving an external message??
<error>
ex: from r...@* to r...@*.
Command output: Can't open log file /var/log/dovecot.log: Permission denied
</error>
Operations like "dovecot: 2009-12-15 11:17:24 Warning: Killed with
signal 15" are writen.
It's a permission problem: dovecot.log is owned by "root" and
grupped by "adm" (chmodded 640).
At first shot (if you would always get the error), I would say, you
use system users and those users must not write to the log file.
Add write-permission for all (chmod a+w) or reconfigure Dovecot to
let deliver use syslog:
protocol lda {
...
# Log to syslog
log_path =
info_log_path =
syslog_facility = mail
}
or more simple :)
mkdir -p /var/log/dovecot
chown dovecot /var/log/dovecot
# chgrp mail /var/log/dovecot
configure global dovecot to use logdir as /var/log/dovecot
rule to remember is permissons got the parent permissions, and this is
why it fails above
please correct me if i am wrong
