| Every computer on every network that I work on gets
| a load of (automatic) attempted ssh logins every day.
| The weekly logwatch email is typically approaching
| 1MB in size, almost entirely from ssh and pam login
| failures all being listed.  This huge amount of data is
| not at all important compared to knowing what logins
| did actually succeed, and other information such as
| kernel messages.

My advise: Work the problem and not the logs that are indicating the
problem. One propably does not need the whole world to use SSH to access
these machines.
