Install ethereal, snoop your network on port 25, and use the "follow TCP stream" feature of ethereal to save the outgoing mail to disk. It won't supply you with mbox-ready files (there are other snooping tools that do that, though), but in a way, this is better... If you have a decent ISP, you can ask them for the logs corresponding to a certain message-id, or transaction-id (usually mail servers give you the transaction ID when the mail is accepted). Your sendmail log should include that. -- Jan-Pieter Cornet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> !! Disc lamer: The addressee of this email is not the intended recipient. !! !!
