I'm sorry, but I do not understand your question. The qmail logs
are created and managed using the cyclog program, and it limits both the size of each log file that it creates, and the number of log files which are kept. You shouldn't have a problem with excessive log files created by qmail.

AH, it's not qmail logging that you are talking about, it is tcpd logging of qmail-smtpd connections. If you wish to see a filtered view of the log file, you should use sed or grep. For instance:

sed /qmail-smtpd/d /var/log/secure | less

will show you that log file with no qmail-smtpd related entries.
