The level of logging can be set for
sendmail. The default using a standard configuration table is level 9.
The levels are as follows:
- 0
- No logging.
- 1
- Serious system failures and potential security problems.
- 2
- Lost communications (network problems) and protocol failures.
- 3
- Other serious failures.
- 4
- Minor failures.
- 5
- Message collection statistics.
- 6
- Creation of error messages,
VRFY and EXPN commands.
- 7
- Delivery failures (host or user unknown, etc.).
- 8
- Successful deliveries and alias database rebuilds.
- 9
- Messages being deferred
(due to a host being down, etc.).
- 10
- Database expansion (alias, forward, and userdb lookups).
- 20
- Logs attempts to run locked queue files.
These are not errors,
but can be useful to note if your queue appears to be clogged.
- 30
- Lost locks (only if using lockf instead of flock).
Additionally,
values above 64 are reserved for extremely verbose debugging output.
No normal site would ever set these.
