I just learned something new here, thanks Darin. We have some clients that have their client set to check email every minute which generates longer log files and makes manually looking at them harder. Now I see there is something I hadn't noticed that will help.
Actually I wish there was a way to generate an error for them if they log in too often. That is of course not as Bud suggested, I know that would cause some errors :) Ted -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darin Cox Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 6:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] how to stop logging logon and logoffs? I think he wanted to stop the Logging of POP logins, not to stop users from logging in. I think in IMail 8 and higher you can set the POP and SMTP traffic for separate log files, at least then separating the two, but it may require a reg tweak if IMail was upgraded from 6 or 7. Or perhaps just turn off POP logging altogether if you don't want it.

Of course, at that point the mail server isn't much use. The snippet of log file you posted is very likely someone's mail program checking for new mail. Many users set ridiculously low intervals for such checks. On the plus side, these checks take very little in the way of CPU time, so it's likely no big deal. > > The file is called *sys%date%.txt* in the spool folder and it's > completely useless for me, it's just using CPU time unnecessarily.
