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:

  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.
