* Jerry Van Brimmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2002-03-26 03:03]: X-Mailer: Sylpheed version 0.7.4 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i586-pc-linux-gnu) 1. Is sendmail set up to allow messages to go to/from root? I dont know? we can tell by the X-Mailer line - and by the way quote text. ;-) 2. I can't find an address for jerryvb.vei.net, although that might just be my setup. I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about here. Thanks for trying, I'm a frustrated mutt newbie. I'm giving up on mutt/sendmail. like i said: mutt is *not* for everyone Sven [expecting the usual WOLFs] -- Everybody uses the mailer that he deserves. mutt is not for everyone.

Sendmail doesn't keep an independent log file. All its logs are routed through the syslog service, so the only sure way to find out where they wind up is to look in /etc/syslog.conf and find where it logs mail syslogs. My servers store it in /var/log/syslog. But on my personal Solaris box: shell$ egrep 'mail\.' /etc/syslog.conf *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit/var/adm/messages mail.info /var/log/mail.log The mail.info line is the one I'm interested in. You might also look for mail.debug or mail.notice. -- -D.[EMAIL PROTECTED]NSITUniversity of Chicago
