That works only if the /var/dcc/libexec/cron-dccd daily cron job is
running.  I think running the cron job is a good idea, but I might be biased.

If you do not want any log files, you can delete the entire directory.
However, the log files can be extremely useful for figuring out what
is going on.  They can also be used for reporting spam to NANAS.

This mailing list is configured to delay submissions with junk HTML.  One
reason is that the logs don't handle it, as can be seen in
http://www.rhyolite.com/pipermail/dcc/2006/003216.html
Another is that it is yet another defense against spam.
