The information is already in your logfiles, You just need to
develop a clue to find it.
Postfix logs a WARNING when the connect() call fails, and it
optionally logs an INFO message when the connect() call succeeds.
fd = auto_clnt->connect(auto_clnt->endpoint, BLOCKING, auto_clnt->timeout);
if (fd < 0) {
msg_warn("connect to %s: %m", auto_clnt->endpoint);
} else {
if (msg_verbose)
msg_info("%s: connected to %s", myname, auto_clnt->endpoint);
