Monitoring mail

[johnharman]

Hi,

I come to this from having run a number of sendmail servers. There are two sendmail tools which I use a lot in resolving email problems, just wondering whether QMail (which plesk installs) has an equivalent to either or both.

(1) tail -f /var/log/maillog
shows every action the mail server is performing in real-time - very hand for debugging (maillog file exists, but is 0 size constantly).

(2) mailq
shows list of messages awaiting delivery along with reason why its still on the queue.

Assistance would be much appreciated.

John

Or install qmHandle.

I like qmHandle - it shows the number of remote and local emails in the queue.
