In most cases (when problems occur) the log can be attached to a ticket in trac. I would say that attaching the log to the trac (or perhaps posting it somewhere else if it's only a short-term issue) is better than getting large attachments in lots of emails, in particular when most recipients are not even remotely interested in looking at the attachments at all.
