Another change to my Centos 7.2 system since my 'yum update' yesterday is
that /var/log/dovecot is no longer written to.

If I do 'systemctl status dovecot' I can see log entries. How can I now do
the equiv or 'tail -f <logfile>'

Also, why has this changed, and where is it documented?

I'd take a stab at:

journalctl -fu dovecot

The full RHEL7 System Administrators Guide is well worth a read, but here's
the bit you're probably after.

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/System_Administrators_Guide/s1-Using_the_Journal.html

Or maybe:
