Plesk 12.0.18 Update #70, Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS.
Our postfix mail log file is filled with millions of lines like the following:
This is causing the log file to grow to unmanageable sizes.
I have tried decreasing the log_level in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf from 4 to 1 with no change.
http://kb.odin.com/en/113866 suggests changing it at
/usr/lib64/sasl2/smtpd.conf but that file does not exist (nor in /usr/lib/sasl2).
http://kb.odin.com/en/125625 suggests adding "sql_verbose: no", but that has no effect either.
In both cases I reloaded postfix after the changes.
Where is the log level for plesk_saslauthd set, and what log level removes all of the debugging information except for the "failed mail authentication" line?
