That would be a good idea if you could control more of what gets logged 
there.  At the moment, my fetchmail daemon runs every 180 seconds and 
checks email from half-a-dozen POP3 servers.  Most of it's log is filled 
with:

fetchmail: sleeping at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:25:26 BST
fetchmail: awakened at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:28:26 BST
fetchmail: sleeping at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:28:51 BST
fetchmail: awakened at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:31:51 BST
fetchmail: sleeping at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:32:16 BST
fetchmail: awakened at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:35:16 BST
fetchmail: sleeping at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:35:43 BST
fetchmail: awakened at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:38:43 BST
fetchmail: sleeping at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:39:09 BST
fetchmail: awakened at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:42:09 BST
fetchmail: sleeping at Mon 10 Jul 2006 20:42:40 BST

However, I *do* want to see messages like:

fetchmail: 1 message for us...@do... at POP3-1 (2353 octets).
fetchmail: reading message us...@do...@pop.isp.com:1 of 1 (2353 
octets) fetchmail:  flushed

As far as I know at the moment, it's all or nothing.
