Topic: conditional logging

[Sparky1]

Hi!
First time caller, long time listener
This could be a complete n00bie question, but my 'extensive research' turned up nothing.
I'd like to set up conditional logging based on the "status code"
This may seem a little odd, but this is what's happening--
I'm running Apache 2.0.59 and mod security
I'm using mod security mostly to stop spammers, and have compiled (as well as downloaded from others) extensive spammer lists.
Even though mod security denies access to these spammers to spam my website, their requests still show up in my log files. Since my website is getting spammed 1 to 2 times a second, my access.log file is huge on a daily basis--I rotate it once a day, but I'm getting sometimes a 10 meg file for 1 day. I'd like to reduce that to 'legitimate' accesses.
My solution thus far is to use conditional logging for Remote_Host and Referer, but that doesn't by far eliminate them all from the log file.
I figured if I could use a SetEnvIf for the status code and not log '301' or a '410' (or whatever I tell mod security to set the response to), then the spammers stopped by mod security would not be logged in my access.log file.
I tried 'SetEnvIf Status_Code 301 omitlog-req' but that didn't work (didn't think it'd be that easy )
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
