Limit size to n MB
If this option is enabled, the report file can be limited to a certain size; possible values:
Permitted values are between 1 and 100 MB. Around 50 kilobytes of extra space are
allowed when limiting the size of the report file to minimize the use of system
resources. If the size of the log file exceeds the indicated size by more than 50
kilobytes, then old entries are deleted until the indicated size minus 50 kilobytes is
reached.
Backup report file before shortening
If this option is enabled, the report file is backed up before shortening. For the save
location see Configuration > General > Directories > Report directory.
Write configuration in report file
If this option is enabled, the Mail Protection configuration is recorded in the report file.
Note
If you have not specified any report file restriction, a new report file is
automatically created when the report file reaches 100MB. A backup of the old
report file is created. Up to three backups of old report files are saved. The
oldest backups are deleted first.
