[comp.mail.sendmail] Syslogging sendmail

sakas@zgdvda.zgdvda.uucp (Vassilis Sakas) (02/16/91)

On a SUN IPC (SunOS Release 4.1) I don't get the sendmail information
in the file /usr/spool/mqueue/syslog. Can anybody give me some advise
how it is possible to do it? Are things maybe different between ULTRIX
and SunOS? (on an ULTRIX system I get this information).

Thanx in advance,

Vassilis SAKAS

SUNs oftentimes log into either /var/log or /var/adm.  Check
/etc/syslog.conf for a line something like

mail.info	/usr/spool/mqueue/syslog

or

mail.info	/var/adm/syslog

Also make sure that a loghost is defined in your DNS or /etc/hosts file
(ping loghost).  If you make any change to syslog.conf, send a HUP signal
to syslogd.
