Yes, that's working as intended, see the milter-regex(8) man page: LOGGING milter-regex sends log messages to syslogd(8) using facility daemon and, with increasing verbosity, level err, notice, info and debug. Then see your /etc/syslog.conf, which defines what messages are stored in what files *.=debug /var/log/debug.log If you don't want anything logged to debug.log, you can simply comment out that line. Or you can have syslogd continue to log all debug messages to the file _except_ those from milter-regex, see syslog.conf(5) for the syntax ('!-prog', with FreeBSD syslogd). Daniel
