If during the sending of the mail the mailserver gives an erorr back then that error will be within the logfile of SA (with max logging). In that case (or when we can't reach the mailserver at all) we can fall back on the alternate mailserver.
If there is no error message for the SMTP sending in the logfile, then the mailserver accepted the mail. What the mailserver then does with the mail is something we can't see/know. dirk On Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:45:43 +0200, Schaeffer, Bruce wrote: > Is there a way to log SA's interaction with the SMTP servers it uses > for alerts?
