Reduce exim logs

[ovsoft]

Hi,
my mainlog and rejectlog are huge. Where can I configure the logging output?

The timing entries are in /etc/logrotate.conf; the information on what to rotate are in /etc/logrotate.d/exim.

the "man logrotate" command is a good resource.

I'm already rotating logs...
I need to reduce the verbosity of output

Sorry I misunderstood.

By default, DA implementations using the SpamBlocker version of exim.conf (the one I wrote) log this way (cut directly from exim.conf):

log_selector = \
+delivery_size \
+sender_on_delivery \
+received_recipients \
+received_sender \
+smtp_confirmation \
+subject \
+smtp_incomplete_transaction \
-dnslist_defer \
-host_lookup_failed \
-queue_run \
-rejected_header \
-retry_defer \
-skip_delivery

You can always read the exim.conf documentation at http://www.exim.org/ and change it any way you want.

Ok, but how this configuration works?

+ enables and - disables?
Please explain, it's not clear for me...

Did you miss where I said read the exim documentation?

I don't remember the details about what's included and what isn't, and I don't want to give you incorrect information. That's why I said read the exim documentation.

Should I have to reread the documentation for you?
