Resolved How to disable log for mails (smtp, ingoing, Spamassassin) ?

Hi there

I use Plesk 18.x "Obsidian" in Debian 10.

Question: How to disable log for mails (smtp, ingoing, Spamassassin) ?

So i saw, many files in directory /var/log will get HUGE after sending mass mails with (some with attachements)

E.g. the following files:

/var/log/sa-update.log
/var/log/maillog.processed


Questions:

1.) Regarding Spamassassin, which creates the file /var/log/maillog.processed: Why the file sa-update.log gets HUGE (~35GB) if there a ALMOST NO INCOMING mails? Does Spamassassin also check EVERY outgoing mail so it seems?

2.) How can i disable (or decrease at lease!!) the "general" mail logging which logs to the file /var/log/maillog.processed?

3.) I executed that commands...

cat /dev/null > maillog.processed
cat /dev/null > sa-update.log

...to empty that huge files, but the "df" command still shows me a 99% usage on root partition - which makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!! (WTF...)

root@xyz:/var/log# df

tmpfs                209712        0    209712   0% /run/user/0

The plesk server is virtualized. But why there are only 653260 bytes left on /-parition after emptying the files maillog.processed AND sa-update.log ? Makes no sense i.m.o.

Thank you very much for your feedbacks

-> Issue - Caching is defined to 64MB, but it gets HUGE - many many gigabytes!!!
