>Description:
getmail 4.8.3 introduced a logging change that causes excessive (dozens of
megabytes per day) log growth by logging skipped messages in delete-after or
keep configurations.

The patch reverts to old behaviour, while leaving the opportunity for full
logging in verbose mode.

The patch has been submitted to the upstream maintainer as well, but I don't
expect a new getmail release soonish.

Added file(s):
- files/patch-excessive-logs

Port maintainer (question+fbsdports at closedsrc.org) is cc'd.
