Hrm... Sorry it took so long to answer you.
Anyway, do you mean that you have too much logs coming out of sympa 
despite your log_level parameter in sympa.conf being set to 0 ?
If you want to gather synthetic informations about your logs, you might 
want to use the DB logs. This is a sympa 5.3 functionnality that allows 
to store some (not all) sympa logs in its database. This makes possible 
to consult them through the web interface, for example.
The logs stored are those related to informations likely to be useful to 
owners (errors, bounce, etc.)

You can see in the following part of the documentation a description of 
the logs table.
