backing going up of outgoing mails in our mailserver???
hello!!!!
we need to create a log or back up of all the mails sent through our mailserver (may be from a particular domain that we host for eg @info.com.np)..
can anybody plzzzz suggest me a way to achieve that??is it possible or not??
our mailserver uses sendmail. do we need to modify the sendmail.cf file or sendmail.mc file for that purpose...if so how to do it??
plzzzzz help....
thanking u in advance!!!
That would work for mail stored on his pop/imap server, but I think he wants to do it for mail being sent through his SMTP server. This mail may never normally exist anywhere on disk.
Enabling logging of this magnitude is generally frowned upon for performance (and sometimes user privacy) reasons. It's possible, for sure... but keep in mind that it will bring any medium-to-high-traffic mail server to its knees.
