question ref. mailscanner logging

[Rob Moore]

Hi

I thought I read a while back a question ref. logging mailscanner events
to /var/log/messages. I installed Mailscanner a few weeks back from the rpm
available
and configured it for use with f-prot.

Since then all messages have had a "X-MailScanner: Found to be clean" or
been correctly
stopped due to a virus being contained in the message. I have received a
notification
accordingly, so everything so far is working to spec.

I receive around 600+ messages a day, with perhaps 6-10 messages stopped for
viruses.

The strange thing is, I have far less entries (15-20 a day) in
/var/log/messages...

May 17 01:19:28 raq959 mailscanner[30495]: Scanned 1 messages, 3564 bytes in
0 seconds
May 17 01:25:58 raq959 mailscanner[30495]: Scanning 1 messages, 3031 bytes

...than I have emails processed by Mailscanner

Should there be entries for EVERY message scanned by Mailscanner or am I
missing something?

Cheers
