Can anyone help me out with how to read imail logs properly. I have a user
who is sending a message that is getting bounced. All local addresses go
through, but offsite addresses are bouncing with an "unknown host" error
message. I have checked DNS and can lookup and telnet to the mail servers
for at least two of the 10 addresses that are bouncing.
I opened the logs and found the following that seems to apply to the message
in question:
09:15 08:33 SMTPD(19BF0154) [192.168.10.10] connect 192.168.10.58 port 1028

My question is now that I have a starting point, is there a way to view the
log for each session as this is sent out to the various hosts? I assume
that d920b154.smd is the outbound message, but how do I know what is
happening as it is sent to each recipient?
Thanks,
