Description Philip Prindeville 2011-11-18 09:56:20 UTC 
Description of problem:

A lot of unexceptional (and invariant) information is logged by cyrus-imapd that might be useful for debugging, but is uninteresting in a production environment.

This fix downgrades a few messages from INFO or NOTICE to DEBUG, and allows a configuration variable which blocks only DEBUG messages at the application level (regardless of facility settings in syslog.conf).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.4.12-3

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Lots of messages like:

Nov 18 01:27:24 localhost master[1869]: process started
Nov 18 01:27:24 localhost master[1869]: ready for work
Nov 18 02:32:50 localhost lmtpunix[2550]: accepted connection

etc.

Expected results:

Omit these messages.

This has been accepted upstream, presumably in time for the 2.4.13 release.
