Stephen, thank you for the pointer. I am in the /var/log/qmail/ folder where the qmail logs are stored, and I have these folders.
drwxr-x--- 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Jul 28 00:08 authlib drwxr-xr-x 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Aug 6 13:21 clamd drwxr-x--- 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Aug 6 03:53 imap4 drwxr-x--- 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Jul 28 00:08 imap4-ssl drwxr-x--- 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Aug 6 13:39 pop3 drwxr-x--- 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Jul 28 00:08 pop3-ssl drwxr-x--- 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Aug 6 13:20 send drwxr-x--- 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Aug 6 14:15 smtp drwxr-xr-x 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Aug 6 13:55 spamd drwx------ 2 qmaill qmail 4.0K Jul 28 00:08 submission I am presuming that inbound emails would be in the smtp folder. And in that folder I have these kinds of files: -rwxr--r-- 1 qmaill qmail 975K Aug 6 00:10 @40000000489940502e726f2c.s -rwxr--r-- 1 qmaill qmail 975K Aug 6 00:47 @40000000489948ee2988e964.s -rwxr--r-- 1 qmaill qmail 975K Aug 6 01:03 @4000000048994ce71541a874.s -rwxr--r-- 1 qmaill qmail 975K Aug 6 01:29 @40000000489952ea27dc3f1c.s It was just this morning that I was doing a bunch of testing and so by the file timestamps I see there are about 30-40 for today. I've looked into several of them, but they don't have any timestamps inside, so I don't know which logs to look at. However I have looked at some with the file timestamp during my testing this morining and there are no indications of errors or failures. Most of the entries look like this: @400000004899636c11a0a83c CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <www.mydomain.com:unknown:xx.xx.xxx.xxx> rcpt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : found existing recipient I've grep'ed for all instances of my email address (the one I was testing this morning) and cannot find any logs pertaining to failures. Am I looking in the right place?
