Hi guys, i installed iredmail latest version a weeks ago and dovecot logs are empty from the beginning, however logs in /var/log/syslog are correctly but i need this separate for better visualization. Tried deleting logs and restarting rsyslog but nothing.
I would appreciate if anyone could tell me what's wrong, Thanks in advance.
Here the configs:
# doveconf -n | grep log
deliver_log_format = from=%{from}, envelope_sender=%{from_envelope}, subject=%{subject}, msgid=%m, size=%{size}, delivery_time=%{delivery_time}ms, %$

login_log_format_elements = user=<%u> method=%m rip=%r lip=%l mpid=%e %c %k session=<%{session}>
mail_plugins = quota mailbox_alias acl mail_log notify
last_login_dict = proxy::lastlogin
last_login_key = # hidden, use -P to show it
mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_create mailbox_delete mailbox_rename
