You're right Josh,
But meanwhile the log table is very usable, having this on a raw file is not
good also.
So the switch to turn on/off saves your life, and I'm sure that when it'll
be implemented the switch will appear in dbmail.conf.

Subject: Re: [Dbmail] Log table

All these extra log details - stored in the database - is this going to 
grow out of control? Would this table be periodically flushed so that it 
wouldn't end up being bigger than is manageable.

As it is our mail server is logging 30-40 lines per second during peak 
usage. I don't mind this going to a logfile but inserting this into the 
database is going to make performance suffer unless I put the table on a 
different disk. It makes no sense to me that for a simple read on the 
database - e.g. check for mail - needs to correspond with a write to the 
database for no reason except for statistics that I might read on the 
rare occasion.

At least if the code is written for this please make a switch in the 
database so that we can turn it off.

Sorry for the pessimistic view, just I want to have our servers at peak 
performance.

Josh.
