Sendmail logs

Hi,
I've been working with scalix lately as we are going to roll it out to one of our clients who is going to purchase the product from one of our local distributors here in South Africa.
Ive noticed that sendmail listerns on 127.0.0.1 and the inet interface,
where do the logs reside for sendmail that listerns on 127.0.0.1?
And another question .. Does the outlook connector allow for auto archiving of mail
as i tried this and i get a microsoft outlook error saying i dont have the permission to perform this operation?
any idea why?

Hi,
sendmail listens on 127.0.0.1 in a default installation. It should not listen on the inet interface unless you have it configured that way. By default, smtpd listens on
eta:/home/ssiekmann # lsof -i tcp:25
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
sendmail 3484 root 4u IPv4 5482 TCP localhost:smtp (LISTEN)
omsmtpd 3740 root 4u IPv4 6115 TCP eta.uk.scalix.com:smtp (LISTEN)
omsmtpd 3740 root 5u IPv4 6116 TCP lab4.uk.scalix.com:smtp (LISTEN)
The normal sendmail logging applies, e.g. /var/log/maillog.
As for the archiving error, this seems to happen sometims with delegated mailboxes. Are you using a delegates mailbox?
Cheers,
Sascha.

Im not to sure if im using delegated mailboxes, how do i check? ive got a default install running at the moment. where do i check or even
with regauds to what is running on the inet interface it is omsmtpd, those logs i can find on the web interface right?
the reason im asking is that i send a mail to the address
security@mydomain.co.za
and the mail just disapears, its not in the sendmail logs and i dont get a bouce message as that mailbox does not exist, whats going on with that mail?
Something else, can I replace sendmail with postfix on the localloop interface?

Hi,
yes, one way to access the logs is thru the web interface.
You can also check /var/log/maillog for the sendmail log.
If the message just disapears when sent from SWA, it means it is being delivered somewhere within Scalix. One way to determine that would be to turn on auditing on local delivery. To do that, issue
omconfaud ld 9
omconfaud configures Audit Log logging levels. This will produce output to /var/opt/scalix/logs/audit
tail'ing this file will reveal what is happening to it.
Postfix is currently not supported, but we have customers using it on the perimeter MTA, for local delivery and interfacing to Scalix sendmail is required.
Cheers,
Sascha.
