How to stop logging of succesful logins to Courier Imap

MartinHerbst

New Pleskian
Hi,

since the update to Plesk Panel 11.5 Courier Imaps logs every successful login to mail.log. I have tried to disable the logging by setting DEBUG_LOGIN=0 in imapd and imapd-ssl config file but this does not work.

Has the configuration changed and how can I get rid of this log messages?

Regards
Martin Herbst
 
IIRC, logins were logged in previous versions as well. DEBUG_LOGIN is customizable only in authdaemonrc and influences only verbosity of authentication process (in other words, it will not help you). (Partially) disabling logging may impair Plesk IMAP/POP3 traffic statistics collection. Some time ago I already answered in a similar thread. If you really want to disable Courier-IMAP logging entirely you may want to look it up.
 
Thanks for your answer. I think you were right. It seems to be a problem with my current logwatch configuration. Before the update it did not contain the LOGIN information but now it does. So probably it is more a problem of my logwatch configuration.
