The way I minimized the logs was to set the default trace level to 2
inside debug.c. The dbmail-1.0 source has TRACE_LEVEL defaulted to 4.
The problem is that there are many trace statements throughout the code
and some are executed before the dbmail.conf is read to set/change the
log level, so these debug level trace messages are always sent to the
log. This trace default is referenced by dbmail-smtpd, dbmail-imapd,
and dbmail-pop3d, so this one change will propagate to all these
daemons.
That's no problem, just change "debug.c" from:
int TRACE_LEVEL = 4; /* default: error operations */
to something less verbose, like:
int TRACE_LEVEL = 2; /* default: error operations */
then recompile and restart the daemons. That should get rid of most
errors. If you want to debug the process, set it back to 4 and
restart.
**** Be sure to change the log levels of each section to the desired
value in the dbmail.conf file too. ****
Please report back if that works for you.
