Chris Yes. Open the account in question's properties. Go to Protocol Chris Logging, under Transport. Uncheck both boxes. Is there a way to keep them for only a few days? Chris You could schedule a Windows task to delete them periodically. Thank you. I think I will deactivate them until I run into a problem. -- Best regards, Peter The BAT 3.99.8, Windows XP, Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I notice it is M enabled on some (mainly older) accounts but disabled on others, M including newly-created. It was enabled on my older accounts but not the newer ones. To be honest, I don't remember whether I enabled it myself or it was on by default. I think it may have been the latter, but I can't be sure. -- Rick Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Roelof, Monday, October 23, 2006, 2:29:42 PM, you wrote: RO Over here TB keeps the log trimmed down to 10 MB, as I instructed. RO I don't have 'verbose log' checked, because TB gives less RO information about the triggered filters when you've got that RO enabled (sounds silly, but it's true). I unchecked verbose log but left it at 1MB (1000KB) and closed/restarted TB!, but there was no change in the log size. Seems that here controlling the size isn't possible. Is there a downside to simply not logging at all? I always have the log at the bottom of the account during active sessions, and frankly that's all I've ever checked anyway. -- Rick Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The latter too can't RO be set to a specific size, as they're merely intended for debugging RO purposes. I was talking about the pop.log. As I said, it's reached 300MB and growing weekly. Is there a way to trim it? -- Thanks, Rick Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I understand it's not illegal or a flaw; I guess I was just surprised that much detail was preserved in them. Not their fault, just my ignorance. MM In the quite same fashion, _all_ your messages, that are not MM encrypted, are entirely and very easily readable to practically, MM and literally, entire Inter Net / world, in the process of the MM transport and otherwise. That I clearly know. MM The mail you don't want to be exposed this way, you should (keep) MM encrypt(ed). Unfortunately, none of my family or friends use pgp/gpg. They've long since ceased asking about the headers and footers on signed messages. If the process becomes easier, maybe then they will, but they don't see the point of paying for PGP and so GnuPG is more than they are willing to deal with. In the meantime, I will at least not keep log files lying around in the open like that. - -- Rick -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) - GPGshell v3.52 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJFPWGpAAoJELf6ImSjvaeWeD8QAL3iCvXzIm2q51ZdXXv56t/J kgaW5mOG9duDdfnwMlF873891xgmGuZPgOo1mgL2wIsZ6O8QxrSCcR2FjzoF5+Lr LHOtXlinGC+woJTWoQrv/mBXCx/TS53RDcvNZId8foLG7UjXBjpiBvNvi4PsmYME q+RmeqljG9JsV9mSPXgVnT0OonU37dTXDz15HPQsybJB9IUXOzx/e+eN3aQb6xf0 lYkXzxcG0fMzueUMV7E2pWD2aAtR8nbQiNhK0AgFNBulbte/QRmIET7qrE2Y8P6c WigLoT96T+YyChfsxxN8c8ddq3anBCljo/yRec69jwMfejgZCUCF4TDsV0ryV45K 9/UhTK23YHhkXgeUyakiwZNU8u0qj0qH+gNwb4uEjaP1VE329BrGkiClGy8MbQJI 0I7UFLWPqfkPtomzMvJwV7w1NxYtcLnY7yF0jtp27XrM3dqbp7p0JUWEDuWjntVi uUIc73PjL319A9zoCj0ZtxgAXCwbKbiqcfn3AsPE+zzMXt6kIy6vFOxD3RUyt5ao PLlcr8nx5MCimOFA3o0weiKIgKU04r8nk85UgqBpzukTFirsKp4HOr3SJ7HiAHo1 9+WbcpxZPF+6y9OxLzpfZPAdfBLLFMr1i/6IIUi0Kb+m9mCr9LBrdfH/BGX51HZl Z9CWS6Q0D4ogxe5r73fr =B5Vv -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
