Mine has a (default) line in it: # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* /var/log/maillog if you changed that to: mail.crit it should only log messages of critical or higher, so regular pop's would (should:) not get logged. or I suppose you could change the target file there as well. Just to clearify though, you don't want to log any mail messages? Can you confirm you tried in pop3: log_type = FILE /tmp/mail (or whatever file) This should not be that tough should it. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
