[OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging

[Jonathan Adams]

I realised that it was calling syslog when I trussed the syslogd on the
parent computer and saw movement when the test email was sent.

after that I added "*.alert;*.crit;*.err;*.warning;*.notice;*.info;*.debug
/var/log/testing" to syslog (log everything except "emerg" which is shoited
out to every display everywhere) and then watched the file when I sent the
test message again ...

anyway, I've got a working system, and I can grep syslog for email
addresses, so that's a win!

Thanks everyone.

Jon
