[rbldnsd] OT: Advise needed on what RBL operators supposed to do with logs

[William Leibzon]

This is partially off-topic but I need some advise on what I'm supposed to
do with rbl access logs as is what do other public rbl operators do.

My situation is that up until now, I've had the rbl restarted every day 
(when new bogon data is rebuilt) and started with new log file and old
one is then automatically zipped and end of the month it along with other 
logs are manually archived into CDs. It worked fine until the rbl started 
to get used more and more (particularly this year) and for this month
on each of the two main RBL servers setup, the log for one day is 250MB
AFTER zipping. This is a problem as first of all, I can only get two of 
these on one CD and I'm not that happy to have to write 10+ cds per month 
and 2nd the server space is limited this is now a problem as partition 
gets full before the log is zipped and it then interferes with other 
server operations.

Since I certainly don't run the most active RBL list and there are others
here who have a lot more accesses to their RBLs (probably on the order of
10 times more), what do you guys do with rbldnsd logs?
