If you're interested in SMTP logging, then install the daemontools package
(http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html) and use multilog. I get a nice log
file about smtpd transfers that looks like this:
@400000003a8d22e52bcff334 tcpserver: status: 0/20
@400000003a8d233c035c7364 tcpserver: status: 1/20
@400000003a8d233c03651e24 tcpserver: pid 4370 from 1.2.3.4
@400000003a8d233c083a0694 tcpserver: ok 4370 :4.3.2.1:25
:209.218.8.60::4
429
@400000003a8d233d01161d44 tcpserver: end 4370 status 0
@400000003a8d233d0117905c tcpserver: status: 0/20
It's a nice little package, but as with the previous note, you should be
careful with logging if you have a large site. There is a thing as *too*
much information! =)
Anyhow, hope this helps.
Cheers,
Tren.
