This has been asked for a few times (that's _just_ a few times in
several years!) and noone has provided a valid reason for this so far.
Please keep in mind that one of the design goals of popa3d is
simplicity, and that there're plenty of other POP3 servers out there.
While logging directly to a file isn't a complicated feature to add,
the combined complexity of all imaginable simple features like that is
substantial.
