Interesting. This is undocumented. Even not known that,, I was able to
reduce the logging to what you said.
 
Like you said however, its still like 6 lines when 1 would be sufficient !
 
That�s a 5 or 6 times bigger log file. Its also more I/O.
 
I feel that better control of logging needs to be addressed.
 
I wish I could write the code, I would submit it.

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.
