Is there some way to turn off logging to the mail logs and syslog for
the pop3 server qpopper? The logs aren't very useful, and because
there are so many of them, they make it difficult to see anything
else.

I'm running Postfix on Debian Sarge. Qpopper is run via inetd.

Disable it in syslog.conf.

I'm running Postfix on Debian Sarge. Qpopper is run via inetd.

Personally I changed Postfix to log into a file of its own:

In main.cf:
syslog_facility = local3
syslog_name = postfix

In syslog.conf:
local3.* /var/log/smtplog

If you do this, just be sure that whatever syslog_facility you choose
isn't being used by anything else.

Is there a way to do that without disabling all mail logging?
