Where to find local mail log for SMTP

[tigerpeng]

Hello,

I config'ed my mail setting to SMTP. I'd like to know where to find log of mail/notification.

Code: Select all

/var/log/maillog

--This file logs email sent through sendmail. Only applicable to core contact "notify-*-by-email" notification handlers and sendmail tests.


You could also refer to "nagios.log" - here you will see checks, notifications, external commands, and events:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

Is this what you're looking for?

I just reset password for a test user with 'Email User New Password:' checked. The email has received, but I cannot find any record on both log files (monitored with tail -f command).

BTW, Is there way config the timestamp of records in nagios.log. The default one (Unix timestamp is not readable)

Anything useful in /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/phpmailer.log?

There is not, it will throw a lot of things that rely on those timestamps off if they are changed.

No record of mail sending in /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/phpmailer.log. There is a SMTP failure error (I used wrong email address for sending email).
It seems the place to log the mailing information. Is there any configuration to set up the log level?

Not without editing the php mailer, which I believe is not open source. Did fixing the sending email address resolve anything? I believe that file only logs when attempts to send are unsuccessful, and ignore successful sends.

It seems I need sometime to familiar the Naigos XI.

BTW, Do you know what XI stand for? 11?
