Summary: SpamBayesServer log files grow limitless

Initial Comment:
I'm using the Proxy version of SpamBayes, not an 
Outlook plugin. I have a POP3 mail account that 
(unfortunately) often throws an error, usualy this one:

Can't connect to mail.sprintmail.com:110: 
(11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')

The log file (SpamBayesServer2.log, or some other digit 
instead of 2) located in my Local Settings\Temp\ folder 
grows with these messages without limit. In half a year I 
use SpamBayes the log file have grown to 20 Gigabytes. 
I only noticed it because the OS started complaining 
about the lack of disk space. The SpamBayes application 
doesn't seem to provide a way to limit the size of log file 
or at least purge it once in a while (I had to exit the 
program, otherwise it locks the file).

There are always five log files, and each time SpamBayes is
started up the oldest is deleted and a new one created.  So
to purge it, just restart SpamBayes (5 times, if you want
them all gone).  (Or there are various ways, including those
provided by Windows itself, to clean the temp folder).

Limiting the size would mean that errors would not be
recorded, which would not be good.

Changes have been made for 1.1 that limit the number of
times identical errors are recorded, which will help those
that continually get the same error (people that try to
connect when the server is unavailable, for example).

To get 20GB of logs, you must either run SpamBayes for
exceptionally long periods of time or get a lot of errors!
