dovecot - Oct 2012 - Irrelevant information filling logs

Hi,

I have a "Ubuntu10.04 + dovecot-2.0.13" configuration in my server. My
mailbox server is shared by ~ 10k domains. It works fine with ~50k 
accounts.

There is a lot of logs of "quota exceeded" like this:

Oct 10 13:00:56 mailboxserver5 dovecot: lmtp(29105, 
user at mailboxserver5): Error: ifcIN1NxdVCxcQAAMBx7mQ: sieve: 
msgid=unspecified: failed to store into mailbox 'INBOX': Quota exceeded 
(mailbox for user is full)

These messages are not important to me. But these messages fill the log 
files, damaging the display of messages that could be important.

Is there a way to send specific Dovecot errors on specific files or just 
discard them?

Thanks

no sure if you can disable this notice without loosing other wanted ones
by dovecot log settings

if using  rsyslog
you can do it with discard action

If all else fails, you could cat the log through a grep -v to filter
out the quota exceeded messages, and then pipe it to less for viewing.

syslog/rsyslog filters are the best method, in my opinion. This would 
allow you to filter to another file or discard things you aren't 
interested in all together.

I personally like quota messages in another logfile. Then I can tail the 
file with a script and issue changes so that the MTA servers reject 
emails to that user instead of trying to deliver, then periodically 
check quotas for users we currently block to determine when it is okay 
to accept emails again. It really lowers the bounces on the MTA servers.

Upgrade to v2.1, they are logged with info level there. (I think v2.0 also logs
them with info level if you don't use Sieve.)
