Thanks for the tip Noel. I will be using it for now. Also I was wondering if someone knew how to specify a different target in the file environment.xml (based on excalibur logger) to send a System.out log message to the james console instead of a file.
The following snippet seems to me to be the best point of attack. I don't know how to modify this yet and so need the groups help here. <targets> <file id="pop3server-target"> <filename>${app.home}/logs/pop3server.log</filename> <format>%{time:dd/MM/yy hh:mm:ss} %5.5{priority} %{category}: %{message}\n%{throwable}</format> <append>true</append> </file> <file id="smtpserver-target"> <filename>${app.home}/logs/smtpserver.log</filename> <format>%{time:dd/MM/yy hh:mm:ss} %5.5{priority} %{category}: %{message}\n%{throwable}</format> <append>true</append> </file> Thanks again, Viru From: Noel J.

Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2002 17:11:18 -0400 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Viru, On linux you can simply run "tail -f /opt/james/apps/james/logs/*" to monitor the logs. If you just want to monitor part of the system, just monitor that log, e.g., smtpserver.log. There is a patch submitted (hopefully in the CVS soon) that if you are at INFO will emit: Successfully spooled mail from <sender> for <recipients> for incoming mail. If you are at DEBUG, you'll see the entire SMTP transaction. --- Noel -----Original Message----- From: Virender Singh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 15:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: sending debug messages to console? How can I get log messages to show up on the james cmd prompt console when a email is received/delivered by the james server ? This helps me easily take a peak at the console to see what it's doing.
