Avoid Exim logging exim -bpc

[manoaratefy]

Hello,

I'm using exim -bpc commands to plot a graph in collectd for monitoring stuffs. At this time, each exim -bpc command launched involves a log entry. Having this running multiple times per seconds leads to a large logfile. Is there a way to avoid this command logged in logfiles?

Thanks in advance.

Hey there! Any of the "exim -bp" options will leave a log entry similar to this in the exim_mainlog file:

2021-06-22 10:51:07 cwd=/root 2 args: exim -bpc
2021-06-22 10:53:03 cwd=/root 2 args: exim -bp

I don't see any options listed in the documentation that would keep this from logging:

54. Exim utilities

Exim is a message transfer agent (MTA) developed at the University of Cambridge for use on Unix systems connected to the Internet.

This might be a good question for the Exim mailing list as this isn't specifically related to cPanel, but from my research I'm not finding a way around this.

Hello,

What is your setting for "log_selector" this controls exim logging you can find it in whm under home=>service configuration=>exim configuration manager => advanced editor there look for "log_selector" but be carefull with changing it you do wanna be able to track spammers if needed also are you using any configserver plugins ? i believe csf needs certain certain settings in exim's log_selector to work correctly.

Thank you. I've just tried to replace +arguments to -arguments and it seems to work. But not sure if something else is affected or not.
