Problem with Dovecot 2.4.2 & debian 13

[sebastian at debianfan.de]

I have disabled apparmor - same log entry.

How do i enable logging ?

I put:

*****

mail_debug = yes
auth_verbose = yes
log_debug = category=ssl
log_debug = category=auth
log_debug = category=mail
log_debug = category=imap

debug_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-debug.log

*****

at the beginning of the config-file - but the dovecot-debug.log is empty.
