Mail messages in syslog
Greetings,
I recently updated my server to woody, and there is some information that
no longer appears in /var/log/syslog. It used to be that when an email
message was sent or received on my system, I would get an entry like this:
Received:

These messages are very useful to confirm that messages were received or
to examine errors if there was a problem. Now all I seem to get is this:
May 30 08:46:40 doma ippl: smtp connection attempt from 127.0.0.1
May 30 08:46:40 doma ippl: auth connection attempt from 127.0.0.1
...which doesn't really tell me anything.
I wondered if something changed with the new /etc/syslog.conf, so I copied
my old one over it (yes, I backed up the new one :) and restarted
sysklogd, but nothing changed, leading me to believe that it is sysklogd
itself that has changed. (or did Sendmail change?)
I read the man page for sysklogd, but that didn't really tell me what I
need to know. Is this information still being logged somewhere? I looked
at /var/log/mail/mail.log, /var/log/messages, /var/log/auth.log, and every
other logfile that looked possible, but to no avail
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance :)
