Suppose I wanted to define the "log exclude" lines in the disklist
file instead of hard-coding them into the client binary? Is there a
function within the server code that examines the log messages
coming back from the clients? Or maybe I could catch these messages
on the server side right before they get written to the email
report?

I'd also need to know where the code is in the server that examines
the disk list, if you know this.

Should I be posting to the amanda-hackers list instead?
