    I have a plugin that provides access to the php error log. While this is not an error, postie seems to get all of its normal actions logged into the error log. Here is a sample:

    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] check_postie
    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] Postie: Starting mail fetch
    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] Postie: Postie is in \wp-content\plugins\postie/
    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] Postie: Cron: On
    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] Postie: Alternate Cron: Off
    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] Postie: iconv: installed
    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] Postie: imap: installed
    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] Postie: mbstring: installed
    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] Postie: There are 0 messages to process
    [Jan 02, 01:29:27] Postie: Mail fetch complete, 0 emails
    [Jan 02, 02:31:29] check_postie
    None of my other plugins write into the error log unless there is an error.

    Any clue what is going on here…

    As far as I can tell PHP doesn’t have any other option for logging information other than the error log. If you know of something I’m all ears.

    I am clueless as to why this great plugin is writing to the error log. I was hoping you might be able to give me a clue. Being as nothing else is doing it, and the plugin seems to be working well, one might assume it some kind of internal logging turned on within the plugin?

    It writes to the log because it processes the emails asynchronously and there is no way to tell if it is running correctly unless it writes something to the log.

    Well, OK, but if the posts are appearing ok then it must be working. It’s just a minor inconvenience to delete the entries, as they appear on my dashboard and are emailed to me once every 24 hours.
    Thanks for Explaining, other than this , the plugin works Great!
