'twould be nice to have a configuration option to turn off the pop3d logging completely. Each time I install a new release of Courier, I invariable forget to comment out those lines (along with the RFC2035 error checking) and have to edit the source and recompile just to keep my log files from growing!

Since midnight (it's 7:45 PM now), I've got 27041 pop3d LOGIN syslog messages. I figure on average, 5 MEGS per 24 hours of these pop3d LOGIN/LOGOUT messages are added to my syslog, which I find useless unless I'm having a problem with pop3d.

Anyway, something to put on your feature request list if you feel so inclined.

Thanks,

Patrick

Is there any reason why in courier-imap-1.3.5 pop3d, the logout events are logged with priority ERROR ?

In the file imap/pop3dserver.c line 506 it says acctout("LOGOUT") and acctout() always starts its messages with "ERROR:". I changed it back to fprintf(stderr..) like in 1.3.2 and imapd.c, it's less annoying (messages of priority higher than notice are displayed on my console and the LOGOUT messages clutter

it).

It should really have INFO: in front of it...
