Nor is this necessary, a few minutes of logs on the OP's own system
should suffice.
Incoming mail is logged by smtpd(8)/pickup(8) and cleanup(8). Mail
(re)entering the active queue is logged by the queue manager, which
logs the sender address. Deliveries to recipients are logged by delivery
agents such as smtp(8), lmtp(8), local(8), virtual(8), pipe(8), error(8)
and discard(8). The queue manager logs the removal of a queue file when
all the recipients are delivered or bounced. Various (usually DNS-related)
warnings are logged routinely by smtpd(8). The lmtp(8)/smtp(8) delivery agent
logs failures to connect to non-final MX hosts, and other connection
related issues that may happen before a recipient's status is finally
logged.
