Hi,

I'm using 1AND1 server running FC4 with plesk 8, i installed ART clamd, clamav, qmail-scanner.
I would like to know if there is a way to log outgoing mails (to check if any troubles occur)
thanks for your attention (and replies

)

Thanks a lot Scott for your reply, actually i checked first those logs, but outgoing mail for local recipient are logged in maillog and same for qmail-queue.log (debug is on in the qmail-scanner-queue.pl).
I sent a mail to myemail@yahoo.com and grep myemail@yahoo.com on both files without any result

Wonder if u have any idea ??

Strange, all of my qmail-scanner logs have entries which show the from and to like:

Thu, 20 Jul 2006 01:07:35 PDT:7177: return-path='me@mydomain.com', recips='somename@yahoo.com'

And AFAIR I didn't have to change any of the log settings after installation.

I wonder if i missed a step. All i did was to create art.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d with the following settings :

[atomic]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA-Compatible RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... eleasever/

[atomic-app-vault]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - Atomic PSA App Vault RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomic/app-vault/

[psa-8.0]
name=Atomic Rocket Turtle - $releasever - SW-Soft PSA 8.0 RPMS
baseurl=http://3es.atomicrocketturtle.com/atomi ... eleasever/

after that i did :
yum install clamav clamd
yum install qmail-scanner
/usr/bin/qmail-scanner-reconfigure

As i said i use FC4 with plesk 8 and created all domains and users via plesk. Some users complain they send emails with small attached files (pdf, jpg) and the recipient get mail without attached file and i want to check what really happen ...

I greatly appreciate any help, thanks for your time

qmail-queue.log is where q-s will log all the nitty gritty details of what its doing. By default it logs at a minimal level for performance reasons. You can set DEBUG=1 in the qmail-scanner.ini file to enable debug logging.

I'm really sorry to insist, but if u allow me a last question. Do i have to install your qmail ? (actually only psa-qmail is installed) i won't have a conflict with psa-qmail ?
I'm bit lost forgive me

qmail-scanner from the ART channel works with psa-qmail.
