Hi List
I have been wondering for what purpose the maillog is sent to me on a daily bases.
Basically I get 10mb of this
Oct 27 04:04:08 giga sendmail[13964]: j9R248Rm013964: from=root, size=56216, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=200510270204.j9R248Rm013964@terra.vlaamse-kern.com, relay=root@localhost Oct 27 04:04:08 giga sendmail[13972]: j9R248gd013972: from=root, size=1732, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=200510270204.j9R248gd013972@terra.vlaamse-kern.com, relay=root@localhost
So what's the point of that?
With kind regards
Andy

The point becomes clear when you work in a large organisation and some VP or the likes send a mail that doen't get through and wants somebody to hang for it. The mail log helps to find out what exactly happened so that techs like us have somebody/something to point a finger at.
