Hi everyone,
We use qpopper on a pretty busy POP3 / SMTP server and find it almost
impossible to do anything from the console or an SSH session (logged in
as root) because qpopper continuously outputs the following messages
onto the terminal:
Jun 12 21:54:02 mail qpopper[39820]: Stats: mb004k 0 0 0 0
203.44.156.149 xxx.xxx.156.149
Jun 12 21:54:57 mail qpopper[39821]: Stats: mb004k 0 0 0 0
203.44.156.149 xxx.xxx.156.149
Jun 12 21:56:51 mail qpopper[39825]: Stats: mb004k 0 0 0 0
203.44.156.149 xxx.xxx.156.149
Jun 12 21:57:10 mail qpopper[39826]: Stats: mb001g 0 0 0 0
203.44.156.154 xxx.xxx.156.154
Jun 12 21:57:45 mail qpopper[39827]: Stats: mb004k 0 0 0 0
203.44.156.149 xxx.xxx.156.149
Jun 12 21:59:13 mail qpopper[39828]: Stats: mb004k 0 0 0 0
203.44.156.149 xxx.xxx.156.149
(I have masked the first part of the IP address)
This problem is compounded when logged into the server via a low
bandwidth link.
I know this has to do with one of the syslog options. Any ideas would
be much apreciated.
A copy of my /etc/syslog.conf follows:
