Hi Mike,

This was discussed at length on this list a few months ago. Many of us are 
concerned about XMail storing passwords in log files, particularly 
unencrypted ones. Davide's point is that the logs are only accessable by root 
so it doesn't make any difference if the log shows passwords. At this point 
my recommendation is: If you are concerned about this use Mike Howeth's 
system or any other configuration that gives those files additional 
protection.
