Although I agree this is a good idea, I think it would be more
appropriate to place these kinds of checks in newsyslog(8) so that
other programs logging can take advantage of this.
The program generating the log message is presumably the one that has
to decide not to generate it if space is low. Log messages currently
come from syslogd. Are you actually suggesting that syslogd should
read the newsylogd.conf file to find settings?

No not necessarily,
Just that perhaps we should add a "This log file can only consume %X of
the file system is resides on" and rotate the files possibly? I have not
given it a great deal of thought as of yet. In any case, I am open to
suggestions for this problem. I agree the feedback loop is not desirable.
I do know however that issues like mail spools temporarily filling up
the file systems resulting in syslogd stop working is problematic.
