[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging

[Jonathan Adams]

Yeah logging is set to 9, I set it to 10 just in case but it made no
difference.  I have mail.info instead of mail.debug because on Solaris 10
the LDAP output takes up too much space.

I was wondering if anyone else has the same issue, especially since this
happened on two different OI servers set up by 2 different people, although
according to the same internal wiki page.  We just didn't notice until I
was building the latest replacement that it hadn't been logging. I had
almost noticed before but thought it was just a one off type of thing.

Do other people use sendmail in zones in production, and do they have the
same issues?
