There is no such option. Use grep to suppress uninteresting info.
When you rotate logfiles, data compression will greatly reduce
repeated information.

Configure your syslog daemon to discard these messages from the stream.

Suppress connection logging for IP

[Ray Dzek]

Hi,

We have a load balancer that opens a connection to the SMTP port on our postfix 
boxes to ensure the ports are alive and kicking. But obviously, this generates 
a lot of log clutter that is not needed. How would I go about suppressing the 
connect from... / disconnect from... log entry for this particular IP?

Thanks in advance,

Ray
