We have Imail's POP service logging to a FreeBSD4.4 machine.  The app is 
seen in the syslog lines as "POP3D".  It is being written to messages file 
with this as-installed syslog.conf line:

*.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err; /var/log/messages

How do we stop it from being logged there? under which facility.level is it 
being caught?

We have it also logging as a app like this:

!POP3D
*.*    /var/log/poplog
*.none /var/log/messages

and so want to remove it from messages.   (2nd line doesn't "none" it out 
of messages)

Running "syslog -d" gave lotsa of info but we still can't see specifically 
how POP3D is winding up in messages.

thanks
Len
