How To Figure Out Who is Signing In To Dovecot to Send or Retrieve Email

To see which Dovecot users sign in to retrieve or send emails, you can use the doveadm command to query the logs. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1. Enable Logging

Ensure that Dovecot is configured to log authentication attempts. You can do this by editing the dovecot.conf file:

log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
auth_verbose = yes

Step 2. Check the Logs

You can use the grep command to filter the logs for login attempts. For example:

grep 'Login:' /var/log/dovecot.log

Alternatively, you can use the doveadm command to query user information. For example, to check user logins:

doveadm log find

If you want to monitor user log-ins to Dovecot in real-time, you can use the tail command:

tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log | grep 'Login:'

These steps will help you track which users are signing in to retrieve or send emails through Dovecot.
