It certainly does get huge, because it includes an extract of the message
and a list of all of the URLs and domains found in the message (very helpful
when trying to figure out why a message didn't get filtered). Mine are
averaging 150 Meg per month.
The change I was suggesting would add one line per message processed to log
the disposition. It wouldn't include the cause (that can be found in
Spam.Log or in the message header), but would provide an indication of
whether TF completed processing the message. (You'd need the full debugging
log to see if it *started* processing the message.) That would go with the
statistics and the error logging that's currently in the TF log. I suppose
the cause could be included with debug off as well. Perhaps that should be
another option?
