That can depend on your unique setup, but typically there is just one log
file that you need to worry about: Either "sys####.txt" or "log####.txt"
(you will have one or the other, not both). This contains all the SMTP,
POP3, etc. logs all in one file.
There are also W*.txt log files for web messaging, but (at least in my
experience) they don't need to be reviewed as much as the SMTP log files.
