Hi All,

I'm using EFA as an outbound relay (no inbound mail at all), and thus far in testing, it's working like a champ. Before I move to prod, however, I'd like to know how to view SMTP logs. Can this be done in the web interface (either EFA or Webmin)? Do I need to enable them in Postfix?

There was an old thread with a similar need a few years back, but I didn't know if I had missed a solution since then.

If there's nothing built in for easy view and search, have any of you implemented an alternative?

Okay, I think I found a way using Webmin. Viewing the maillog file via System | System Logs seems to do the trick.

That may be the easiest way if you don't know how to log into the shell and use the 'less' command.

Download Putty, or your go to SSH tool.
Log in (If you get to the menu press 1 for shell)
the logs are in /var/log
I use -f keeps the log rolling.
-n 300 also loads the last x number of lines.
And finally within the quotes is what i am looking for whether that be a host, domain, user, or part of the log i am expecting to see.

Hope this helps

Frank
