Re: [exim] exim dovecot sieve integration

First lookup the log-files:


exim -bP log_file_path will show you.

Here is mine:

Loading lookup modules from /usr/lib64/exim/4.72-7.el6/lookups
Loaded 0 lookup modules
log_file_path = /var/log/exim/%s.log

I think on centos this is the normal way it should be. My exim runs with the user exim, so no problem to write logs. It debends on your Os where to set:  log_file_path = /your/path.
drwxr-x---   2 exim exim  4096 20. Feb 10:12 .
drwxr-xr-x. 13 root root 12288 21. Feb 13:06 ..
-rw-r-----   1 exim exim 90754 21. Feb 13:58 main.log
-rw-r-----   1 exim exim     0 20. Feb 10:01 panic.log
-rw-r-----   1 exim exim 77472 21. Feb 13:58 reject.log
Ls -la /var/log/exim

ls -la /var/log/exim
insgesamt 192
drwxr-x---   2 exim exim  4096 20. Feb 10:12 .

Thanks for your answer but that requires me to have some kind of virtual users environment which i don't have. Aside from that i fail to understand why your setup logs to exim log and mine to dovecots. Any ideas on that?

thanks and cheers
