There is actually a pretty easy way to control what is logged and what isn't.
The order in your config file is important:
Everything listed before the set-tracefile is not logged.
Everything listed after the set-tracefile command is.

so if set-tracefile is the last thing in your config file, the volume logged is much 
lower.
Still, there are 2 lines for each non-tls pop check (the timestamp of the start of 
check, and the timestamp of the stop check along with the username, process #, mail 
stats and IP (which is logged twice if DNS lookups are turned off).

As well, TLS/SSL information is also logged, resulting in an additional 2 lines (one 
for TLS startup, one for TLS shutdown error) in most cases.

At least all the "set" items are not logged.
