Configuring Sendmail logging

By default, events of the Sendmail system are logged to syslog.

To make sure that logging is configured correctly:

  1. Connect via SSH to the server on which the Sendmail system is installed.
  2. Run the following command:

    cat /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

    The command should return the following string:

    mail.* -/var/log/mail.log

If logging is configured correctly, you can proceed to configuring the export of Sendmail events.
