Greetings, I recently updated my server to woody, and there is some information that no longer appears in /var/log/syslog. It used to be that when an email message was sent or received on my system, I would get an entry like this:
Received: May 25 10:45:05 doma sendmail[14834]: KAA14834: from=<bounce-debian-testing=matt [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=2903, class=-30, pri=86903, nrcpts=1, msgid=<l [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [127.0.0.1] May 25 10:45:05 doma sendmail[14835]: KAA14834: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00: 00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Sent Sent: May 25 11:01:01 doma sendmail[14868]: LAA14868: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=647, class=0, pri=30647, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED] ma.mattyt.net>, proto=ESMTP, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [127.0.0.1] May 25 11:01:02 doma sendmail[14870]: LAA14868: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, delay=00:0 0:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, relay=mx.nyc.untd.com. [64.136.20.83], stat =Sent (OK id AAA8Q9WVHACRU872) These messages are very useful to confirm that messages were received or to examine errors if there was a problem. Now all I seem to get is this: May 30 08:46:40 doma ippl: smtp connection attempt from 127.0.0.1 May 30 08:46:40 doma ippl: auth connection attempt from 127.0.0.1 ...which doesn't really tell me anything. I wondered if something changed with the new /etc/syslog.conf, so I copied my old one over it (yes, I backed up the new one :) and restarted sysklogd, but nothing changed, leading me to believe that it is sysklogd itself that has changed. (or did Sendmail change?) I read the man page for sysklogd, but that didn't really tell me what I need to know. Is this information still being logged somewhere? I looked at /var/log/mail/mail.log, /var/log/messages, /var/log/auth.log, and every other logfile that looked possible, but to no avail Can someone point me in the right direction?
