Since this one client didn't have any data in our systems, it was freaking out our programs and producing 100GB of logs a month...yes, *100GB* per month. Even with logrotated running, the compressed logs were insane. I thought that it was a valid process that was just logging too much, and the client services manager mentioned that they weren't our client any more, a light dinged in my head and I said "lets put a stop to this!"
