[TriLUG] E-Mailing IPTables Log Daily

If you look at your rules in IPTables (using iptables -nvL) you should
see a "LOG" rule in there somewhere.  You can remove it by using
'iptables -D INPUT' and then the information afterwards that is specific
for that rule.  Basically you want to undo the rule.

If you send me the output of your 'iptables -nvL' I'll be happy to help.
