suddenly 'User unknown'?

[Charles Bradshaw]

I have, and have always had, an empty /var/log/imapd.log so I'm not
going to make progress until I fix that.

In n /etc/rsyslog.conf

# cyrus imapd
#local6.*                              /var/log/imapd.log   - tried this
first.
local6.debug                        /var/log/imapd.log
auth.debug                          /var/log/auth.log

and in /etc/imapd.conf

syslog_prefix: cyrus
syslog_facility: LOCAL6

If I remove the file /etc/imapd.log then

# /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart

# logger local6.debug 'test log message'

# cat /var/log/imapd.log

Nov 29 15:06:42 dell2600-1 brad: test log message

Obviously syslog is working local6. But still no messages from cyrus!
Therefor I'm now stuck with this secondary problem.

I have followed the cyrus instructions as best I can, but no go. I say
again this has all worked for years, albeit with an always empty imapd.log

There must be some missing cyrus syslog configuration.
