Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/axllent/mailpit/issues/246

Consider adding configuration options to have logging go to a file, with the location and name of the file also configurable.

I've used Mailpit through Homebrew and can do this as part of the startup command with redirection of stdout to a file of my choice. I've switched to running Mailpit via Docker with the mail database file on a Docker-mounted volume; I'd like to have the logging output go to a file on that same Docker-mounted volume.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am sure this can be added as a new feature. When you say "options" (plural), what options other than a file name are you suggesting?

In the interim, docker logs can be viewed with docker logs <container>, not to mention that you can probably redirect Mailpit logs to a file within docker too simply by adding that to your docker commands.

Apologies; poor choice of wording on my part. Having an option to specify a file with path (similar to the mail database option) would be sufficient.

I've added this feature in v1.13.2 (using --log-file <filepath> or the MP_LOG_FILE=<filepath> environment variable). The log formatting is somewhat different to the default stdout logging, but this format makes more sense for a physical logfile.

Please let me know if this works for you?

Excellent, you're welcome. I'll take that as "it's tested and working" and close this, however feel free to re-open if there is an issue.
