reducing logging/duplicate messages

Hello,

Is it possible to either reduce logging in Cyrus (CYRUS_VERBOSE=1 or 0 currently) to log less chatter?  Everything seems to go to the MAIL facility, and there are alot of messages on a idle test system :-0

Also, the user_deny feature seems to log twice?  Or 3 times even?

Nov 22 20:10:54 node1 pop3[21154]: counts: retr=<0> top=<0> dele=<0>


So I seem to be getting alot of duplicate messaging.   The "counts" twice, "user_deny.db" three times (including the wildcard and pattern?) for a single POP3 connection.  I combed the man pages and found nowhere where I could specify alternate log files, debug levels or whatnot other than the CYRUS_VERBOSE setting, which I believe to have set to the minimum.  I shudder to think how many messages will be generated on a busy server.

Thanks,

R.
