Description
Now postfix, amavis, dovecot daemons log everything to the mail facility and messages end up into /var/log/maillog.
We could reduce the log flooding by moving IMAP and LMTP/delivery messages to separate files.

Edit:
LMTP messages retained to /var/log/maillog, to ease debugging when delivery process involves sieve filters.
Test case
Syslog messages from "dovecot" regarding IMAP connections must now be written to /var/log/imap.
Check logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf rotates also the new log and HUPes syslogd.

Test case
Verification FAILED.
Syslog configuration is in place but is not applied: we need to add Syslog restart inside the nethserver-mail-server-update event.
After syslog restart IMAP login/logout messages are logged both in /var/log/imap and /var/log/maillog.
Logrotate should correctly work.
