we do not check the employees email.
2 weeks ago I got some weird complaints saying that mails sent out are not
reaching the destination. Now I never want to log any mail activity and its
my principle not to invade others mails. Here in this case, I checked my
sendmail by sending out mails with CC to some other mail ID like yahoo.com
etc to ensure the mails reachs the destination and they were reaching the
destination.
So to confirm the complaints are not false, I kind of thought to check the
maillog.
Also I found out that the mails which were complaint as lost were indeed
lost as the destination mail server had problems and they reported to me
that the mails were lost. But these reports took a week to reach me and by
that time management here was questioning the reliability of my email
server, which I want to avoid - any system administrator wants that.
What I need is a instant verification of such complaints in the future by
just checking the maillog. thats all. Cause I couldnt verify such
complaints immediately and our clients in France and other countries had to
be told to depend on yahoo.com and other email service providers which
looks bad to the company and especially to me. Hence this desire to maillog
all activities.
I been running this linux for 3 years, and this is the 1st time I am
checking the maillog just because of the complaints.
thanks and regards
