Well yes, there will be an "abstract" or "abbreviated" log of all incoming
mail if LOGABSTACT is set to "ALL". The exception is outgoing mail of
course, which isn't logged at all.

Another approach could be to LOGABSTRACT only those recipes you are
interested in seeing, or define a per-recipe log which is inefficient in
CPU's and downright uggerly to look at in the .procmailrc or
/etc/procmailrc.

Comment it out and you'll get a silent logfile when verbose is off.
Unfortunately you'll have no record of *anything* that happened (good OR
bad)

Personally unless I'm debugging something, I leave logabstract set and and
rotate the logfile. Unless you have ***thousands*** of users on one box, an
abstract log isn't that big. Nowhere near httpd logs for example.
