The RPM logs to mail facility and priority of mail is * by default on
RedHat. That means out of the box we get quite alot messsages in maillog
now. With statuscache enabled the number of log entries is about 10 times
higher than without.
I understand that others may want those logs at the DEBUG level, it's only
a problem in my situation.
