Thanks for the responds guys. I can see that no one here either a) actually read my posts or b) have a difficult time thinking in a rational manner. But I digress.
The reason, that seemed obvious to me, that I asked the question was to have a link or something that would have taken about 10 seconds to type that would have pointed me it the right direction. Maybe this is documented on MS somewhere, I couldn't find it. I thought to myself...Hey, these guys seem pretty smart on this list, let me ask them. Boy, if I had only known...wow! Go back and read those replies that you guys wrote. They sound kind of silly huh? Just as everyone here felt the need here to critique my posts, I too felt the need to critique Ed. I thought that his reply was arrogant. It was filled with "I know and you don't" and "I can't be bothered" type of mentality, which seems to be inappropriate for a list such as this. To answer the question of why testing would not have given me a complete answer, well I thought that was a no brainner too, but let me walk you through my rational. There is obviously a difference in the logging levels, right? Well, I assumed that each logging level would expand on the amount of information logged compared to the previous level...still with me? I also assumed that there are things that ONLY get logged when certain conditions are met or only when a certain error occurs. Ok here is where I put it all together. I said to myself...I don't know what is logged at what levels; I don't want to waste time logging to much; I don't want to pick a level that might not log something I may value (again I do not know what is logged at what level). So silly me thought that asking this list would have been a good idea. Guess I was wrong. Live and learn. I was referred to this list by someone who mentioned that the people here are a great help...he forgot to mention the condescending comments that I you have to endure to get that help... Thanks for the "help". Joe Rojas (For those who read this far: I know this posts is written in a condescending tone, but it seems to be the only acceptable tone here. Sorry.) -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2002 6:57 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: IMC Logging Levels? (take 2) Your proposed answer would have been technically and factually inaccurate. I'm curious as to why anyone would need such a list (since I've worked with thousands of Exchange organizations without a sheet detailing this information). Perhaps if you had a goal you were trying to achieve with regards to monitoring and reporting or something, we could provide you with a push in the right direction. But at the moment, your post appears to be nothing more than idle curiosity, in which case "figure it out for yourself by testing" is a more than appropriate response. -----Original Message----- From: Joe Rojas To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 9/8/2002 2:09 PM Subject: RE: IMC Logging Levels? (take 2) I think that an answer of "You know, I have no clue." would have been better :) The purpose of asking was to see if anyone knew. I know I could do some testing but I that would not show me everything. Testing will only give me a partial answer and I am looking for a complete one. Thanks for the attempt though!

(take 2) Hi All, I am trying to find some kind of documentation on the different levels of logging in the 'diagnostics logging' tab of the IMC (Exchange 5.5). I am trying to find out what is logged at the different levels for all the categories. (Initialization/Termination, Addressing, Message Transfer, SMTP Interface Events, Internal Processing, SMTP Protocol Log, and Message Archival) Thanks in advance!
