[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging

[Jonathan Adams]

cr*p ... I edited syslog to log _everything_

sendmail is logging to "daemon.info", not "mail.info" ... at least I can
get it fixed.

I'm not sure if anyone else even uses sendmail nowadays, but that adding "
daemon.info" to the mail.info/debug line should get it working for you.
