I run my tmda-ofmipd under daemontools logging to multilog, and while I 
like to keep the last 10 or 20 mb of logs so that if someone (usually my 
wife!) complains about their email having trouble I can start diagnosing 
what _happened_, rather than restarting with -d and hoping it happens 
again...

The problem with -d being on all the time is that if someone send a 5MB 
image file, I'd be logging the whole thing, and their AUTH, possibly in 
  the clear (though I do recommend CRAM-MD5).  I looked at multilog, but 
it appears to really want the log files to be world-readable, and will 
reset them that way, so that's a problem with logging the AUTH.
