Right, but the problem with this is that it affects all mail programs
then.  

It would be nice if courier would allow control of its own logging, not
rely on system wide mail settings for logging configuration.

And even one step further, it would be nice to have some control over
what is displayed.  For example, right now I get three lines per mail
check (connect, login, logout).  I would actually like to see mail
checks, but only if it could be contained to one line.  So if
courierlogger would monitor and upon getting a successful connect, login
and logout from the same session, dump a line to mail.info.

Thanks. Peace.

-Daniel

Subject: Re: [courier-users] Turning off logging

Login/logout is logged at level mail.info while errors are logged at
mail.error (and above).  So modify your syslog.conf (for Solaris, don't
know what the file is for other *nixes) to only log mail.error and
above.
