[pkg-fetchmail-maint] Bug#356722: fetchmail: does not log pop connections without mail

Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.2-2
Severity: wishlist

Differently from version 6.3.1, this version does not log POP
connections where no mail is found.

The current behaviour is inconvenient to me, because I get mail on a
substantial amount of POP connections (varying from 1/2 to 1/30 during
the day), and that information is valuable to me, because I use it to
spot problems with the POP server or my configuration.

It is true that this bloats the logs, but since those are all equal
lines, compression yields very satisfactory results.

It would be useful to have those logs back, possibly by means of a
configuration option.
