Sendmail logs to syslogd's mail facility, so a perusal of
/etc/syslog.conf should show you what file (if any) that goes to. It
varies from one OS to another, and can be customized.
My sendmail log shows these two lines for the last message I sent to
mutt-users:
Mar 24 11:44:21 smack sendmail[12245]: [ID 801593 mail.info] LAA12245:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], size=2014, class=0, pri=32014, nrcpts=1,
msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=dgc@localhost
Mar 24 11:44:27 smack sendmail[12247]: [ID 801593 mail.info] LAA12245:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], delay=00:00:06, xdelay=00:00:06, mailer=esmtp,
relay=ns.gbnet.net. [194.70.126.10], stat=Sent (ok 985455867 qp 25242)
The first line indicates receipt by my MTA (sendmail, storing to the
queue) from my mail injector (mutt's invocation of /usr/lib/sendmail).
The second line shows sendmail's belief that it completed delivery to
ns.gbnet.net satisfactorily, and removed the message from my queue.
