Hi, in order to track scripts that are sending emails through php mail() function, i've read about mail.log directive in php.ini that accepts either a user's home dir file or a path to a server, for example /var/log/php_mail.log I'm using suphp so in order to write to a /var/log/php_mail.log i have to set 777 permissions to the file, if i want to have all my users logs to one file. It isn't a good idea for me to use a 777 file. The other solution is to use a file like the error_log, inside the users home dir but the problem is that i didnt find any documentation about limiting the file size, so after a while the user's home dir will be over quota. Is there a way to limit the file size through php.ini? Or any other way to monitor mail() in a file containing all users, but not chmod to 777? Thank you,

  Hello :) You could setup rotation for the log file via Log Rotate. EX: Setting a cron job to delete log files Thank you.
