this depends on your operating system. sounds from your original message like you're using linux; most likely your logs will be in /var/log - the mail stuff will possibly be in your system log (usually 'messages', 'all.log', or 'syslog' or something like that), and will most likely also be in a separate log file... most systems call it 'mail.log' or 'maillog' or something like that. you might try something like the following. the '^D' represents you typing 'control-d', and then you should see output like the output that follows. replace the from and to addresses with your from address, and an outside email account. then you can watch and see the SMTP transaction in real time. % /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -v from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] subject: test test ^D [EMAIL PROTECTED] Connecting to veggiechinese.net. via esmtp... 220 bacall.veggiechinese.net ESMTP Postfix >>> EHLO aura.infinitejazz.net 250-bacall.veggiechinese.net 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-XVERP 250 8BITMIME >>> MAIL From:<[no*spam]@aura.infinitejazz.net> SIZE=61 250 Ok >>> RCPT To:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 Ok >>> DATA 354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF> >>> . 250 Ok: queued as 0AA78137F3 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent (Ok: queued as 0AA78137F3) Closing connection to veggiechinese.net. >>> QUIT 221 Bye -- Will Yardley input: william < @ hq . newdream . net . >
