[Dovecot] BUG REPORT - Stops logging after sleep

[Bruce Bodger]

Timo,

Compiled and installed v1.0.4 this morning on OS X 10.4.10...

./configure --with-ssldir=/System/Library/OpenSSL --with-ssl=openssl  
--with-notify=kqueue

...all is well.

I wonder if you remember the conversation that we had back on May  
11.  This was the situation where after the system ran nightly  
maintenance dovecot info stopped appearing in mail.log (I'm being  
careful how I state that: I believe you had surmised a problem with  
Apple's syslogd implementation.

Ever since our conversation I've been running these commands in  
daily.local... after maintenance rolls the logs...

killall dovecot
sleep 1
/usr/sbin/postfix reload

Of course, launchd restarts dovecot.

That's been working just fine... no problems at all.  But now that  
we're up to dovecot 1.0.4 I'm wondering if you've ever looked into  
this anomaly...  Perhaps things have changed regarding logging?  I  
don't mind testing it here without the nightly kill but before I do,  
wondered if you ever made any adjustments in the code for it.

Thanks,
B. Bodger
