Hi,

I'm trying to work out how to get more info into my logs, in order to track a problem one of our customers is having when sending mail to us.

I have his log output (which is more than I usually get :-) ), and a fleeting glimpse 
of it in my log.

His log says:

I found the MX for his domain and got the IP address of his mail server, then grepped that in my maillog, and all I have is lots of instances of

Jul 27 11:00:05 alien courieresmtpd: started,ip=[::ffff:203.59.129.54]

(His server is in australia, mine in the UK, so this particular log entry corresponds to the log he sent...)

There's no follow-up to this "started" entry - which I suppose matches the timeout in his log.
Is there anyway to have more information logged about connections? I can't see any configurations which affect logging levels.


I really want to be able to demonstrate that this problem is out of my control - I suspect a misconfiguration on the remote end, since most people manage to send us mail perfectly well.
