Michelle, one way to keep from getting drowned in log files,
is to trim them before writing to them.  Here's what I used
in one /etc/procmailrc script (run before DROPPRIVS=YES) is
the following:

Another is to take the MESSAGE-ID and use it to create an individual
log for each mail received, drop the log in a folder, and using find
(1) with -ctime to delete old logs using cron.

        No, if you get more then 5,000 message a day ie 15000 inodes
        in three days, you will have big performens problem!
