is it possible to check if a mail has been sent via sendmail?
 
hiho@ll

i just want to know if a mail has been sent, or there was an error, if i use sendmail to send a mail

for example

/usr/sbin/sendmail
from: ...
...

then the mail is in the queue

is there a method to receive something like the queue ID from sendmail and to get the status of the mail?

thx@ll

You can look at mail queues that are pending in /var/spool/mqueue.

You can do a test send via sendmail command line with:

sendmail -v
Type in "subject: <subject>"
Then type in "<body>
Then hit Ctrl-D to make it send.

This will show you a verbose output of the send.
