rawlog looks for ~/dovecot.rawlog/ directory and tries to write there. It doesn't really matter what the user is as long as it can write there. I find it a bit weird if "dovecot" user managed to write there.. You could also have given -d parameter to script-login and it would have figured out the user automatically. > Also, maybe the (null)Fatal -message could be improved(?). Yes, fixed: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/ed0688858e59
