No, the logs will not get automatically purged. If you compiled vpopmail with "--enable-mysql-logging=y", then vpopmail will log every single authentication request into the vlog table. This is not really acceptable for most (all?) installations because the size of the table will become huge in no time flat. I have just added some information about this issue to my vpopmail/mysql toaster page at http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm (look in the vpopmail section) I have provided a patch that shows how I modified the vpopmail logging code so that the mysql logging verbosity will mimic the syslog verbosity chosen in the "--enable-logging" configure command. So then you can reconfigure with "--enable-logging=p", and only failed authentication attempts will get logged to the vlog table. Hope that helps! Michael.
