Mail logging

How do I turn on logging for Mail 7.2 on OS X 10.9..2?
I need to troubleshoot an issue with autodiscovery failing against an Exchange server.
Thanks!

Every 15 min.
It appears that the constant access is to mail.mac.com
I'll try to remove the account the re-add it to see if that makes a difference.

Var/log/mail.log file empty

My var/log/mail.log isn't logging anything, the file seems to empty since 4th March 2010 3:15 AM
Have tried the below mentioned troubleshooting steps, but no luck though
1. Stopped and restarted mail service
2. Repaired disk permissions through disk utility application
3. Repaired permissions through terminal diskutil
4. Restarted daemons as suggested in this forum http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2088823&tstart=60
5. Changed permissions as suggested on this forum http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-13985.html
Any help please!!!

Change the archive log to 3 days. Make sure all three log levels are set to information. Restart mail and see if any thing appears in the logs.
Also how are you viewing the logs - using SA or Console?
Thanks,
Henry

Yup, you're correct: You've done some messing-up somtime, somewhere!
Now you need to figure out where you've left the launchd Daemon/Agent that causes the respawning of this doomed job. There are all over the place!
Try this, but on your side. No need to post the full results here: It'll be too long.
The 'ls -lrt' command sorts by last accessed time. So, you'll most likely to get the non-Apple ones listed last
ls -lrt /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
ls -lrt /System/Library/LaunchAgents/
ls -lrt /Library/LaunchDaemons/
ls -lrt /Library/LaunchAgents/
ls -lrt ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
There is a bunch of plist (XML) files. One may spark in you some souvenir of what you've tried once and canceled.
Remember that deleting an application from the /Application folder is NOT ENOUGH to uninstall a program!
On good hint for you is to hit Command-I when a package installer runs. This will show you all the files that will be installed. Good thing to remember of those when you want to uninstall an application. There are some applications that take care of nicely uninstalling other applications ... removing launchd daemons/agents.
Give a try first with
ls -lrt /Library/LaunchAgents/
My bet it's here.
Good luck,

Exception.log and mail.log stopped logging (MX7)

Hi all - we have been experiencing intermittent problems with our MX 7.02 server & checked the log files to help diagnose the problem.
However both exception.log and mail.log appear to have stopped logging information in June 2010.
The size of the logfiles is only 178K and 34K.
Does anyone know why they've stopped & how to restart the logging?
Many thanks
cf_rog

On CF7 as far as I know you need to restart the CF server. In CF9 you
can selectively enable/disable logging for those files and thus
attempt to restart logging.

AsyncOS 5.5 - errno 60 in mail logs

We upgraded our IronPorts to AsyncOS 5.5 two weeks ago and over the past week, an issue has begun to manifest itself. We are wondering if anyone else has seen this.
When sending to some domains (at this point about 20 or so) we receive error responses (soft bounces) and eventually hard bounces. The errors we are seeing in the mail logs are:
Thu Nov 15 11:43:57 2007 Info: Delayed: DCID 11509176 MID 43979667 to RID 0 - 4.4.0 - Other network problem ('000', ['[Errno 60] Operation timed out']) []
and less often:
Thu Nov 15 11:33:23 2007 Info: Delayed: DCID 11508361 MID 44031268 to RID 0 - 4.4.0 - Other network problem ('000', ['[Errno 54] Connection reset by peer']) []
The systems on the other side appear to be all fronted by PIX Firewalls and do not have the SMTP Fixup command enabled. (If you telnet to it you get 220 ************************) Only very small manual telnet emails seem to make it through. The MTU packet size by default on their end is 1380. They lowered it and more emails made it through, but not all. The MTU packet size on our firewalls in 1500 and adjusting the packet size on the IronPorts has not helped the issue.
Has anyone else seen this, or better yet, fixed this issue? If you look at delivery status and see domains that are up and have a lot of softbounces, this may be a sign that this is happening.
Any and all help would be appreciated.

We turned it on as soon as it was a feature in AsyncOS - around 2005 - despite it being half implemented (ala AsyncOS's support of SMTP-TLS).
It's not that it was only half implemented - it's that there are two different protocols at play here.
The first is DomainKeys, which IronPort has supported for some time. This is an early standard designed largely by Yahoo. DomainKeys is covered in Historic RFC 4870.
The second is DomainKeys Identified Mail, or DKIM, which is a newer standard based on a combination of DomainKeys and Cisco's Identified Internet Mail. DKIM is covered in the Standards Track RFC 4871, and was implemented in AsyncOS 5.5.
However, it is pretty much finished [for everyone on the internet] for the next 12+ months unless Cisco+Ironport fix the PIX smtp fixup issue.
It's been fixed since August in PIX code 7.2(3). The problem is of course that it's the recipients end that needs this upgrade (or to disable MailGuard), not the end doing the DKIM signing, which obviously make it more difficult to resolve.

E-mail logging over SSL on ASA?

Hi There,
Is there a way to do e-mail logging using SSL/TLS on a Cisco ASA? SMTP seems straight forward, however, I can't do SMTP (Port 25 TCP) outbound as my ISP has it blocked.
Thanks in advance!
Matt

Hi Donny,
I am not using an ESA, I cannot seem to find any Cisco documentation on how to configure e-mail logging on an ASA using SSL/TLS. Does this documentaion exist? I am not having inspect issues, my pcaps show no 465/587 TCP traffic leaving my outside interface when a logging event occurs. When I configure e-mail logging using SMTP I see port 25 TCP traffic leaving, so I must not be configuring it correctly for SSL/TLS.
Thanks,
Matt

Mail logs out of server when imac sleeps

Mail logs out of the server when computer sleeps

system preferences, security and privacy, general menu, unlock the lock and click on advanced.
Set the automatic logout to 999. That's 999 minutes to automatic logout.
Only do this if you really don't want auto logout. Like when you're doing a crypto-quality erasure of a backup hard drive or backing up to a blank hard drive (can take several hours for first backup).

10.7 SMTP Mail Logs send email address- Assign Postmaster?

How do you assign the SMTP mail log email address? I received an email this morning from another System Administrator (who previously administered this server), that he received the following message (I should be receiving these notifications, not him. To add: I was already the "Alert Email Address." Is there another location, where the SA's email address is set?):
From: Mail Delivery System
Subject: Postfix SMTP server: errors from server2.domain.com
Date: September 23, 2013 6:05:43 AM EDT
To: Postmaster
Transcript of session follows.
Out: 220 server.domain.com ESMTP Postfix
In: HELO XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Out: 250 server.domain
In: STARTTLS
Out: 454 4.7.0 TLS not available due to local problem
In: QUIT
Out: 221 2.0.0 Bye

I am having the same problem. I also can't send anything with attachments at all. Mail Just hangs there endlessly. This is a HUGE problem for me right now, and I don't feel like using entourage mail because it is not really reliable either. Does anyone know how to get a direct hold of Mac Telephone Support or engineering? I need to fix this problem like right now. We need to go back one level of code. Mr. Logic... This is my third day since I downloaded this code revision too, so please let me know what you find out, and I will do the same for you. I should have known better than to install this code without reading up on the issues and fixes.

Since downloading the 10.4.7 update I've experienced
the mail problem wherein emails can't be sent to the
smtp server. I've read all the discussions on all
the various fora, and tried all the fixes (e.g.
downloading the combo update instead, trashing mail
preferences, repairing permissions, setting up mail
again from scratch, looking for the SOCKS proxy,
resetting the PRAM, etc. etc. etc.) but all to no
avail.
Note that in my case the SOCKS proxy checkbox was
NEVER ticked/checked and so I couldn't uncheck it
(which was the fix that seems to have worked for most
people).
Anyway... last night I thought would try setting the
SOCKS proxy checkbox myself, so that I could then
uncheck it. (you never know!)
However, when doing this I noticed that any changes I
made to the proxy checkboxes in the Network system
preference panel ARE NOT SAVED.
i.e. If I tick one or more of them and Apply the
changes, then exit the Network Preferences panel, the
relaunch the Network Preferences panel, they are all
UNCHECKED again.
Is this related to my Mail problem? Any clues?
This is my 3rd day without the ability to send email
from the Mail client in 10.4.7. Not good.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.

No mail logging after upgrade to 10.5.7

Everything seems to be working normally, but no logging is taking place to /var/log/mail.log.
If I edit amavisd.conf to turn off syslog logging and log to /var/log/amavis.log, it does go there.
Nothing looks wrong in syslog.conf, etc.
Any ideas?

After a little additional research I've found the following...
Upon opening a Terminal Window and entering /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail I'm provided with: cannot execute binary file
Might this imply the upgrade to 10.5.7 corrupted the Mail.app executable? if yes, how do I revert to a previous version? Will TimeMachine help in this?

ASA mail logging 716001

Dears,
i configured logging list contains messages 716001 and 716002.
i configured the mail logging to send this list , but i received only 716002 and didn't receive 716001 on my mail.
ASA version is 9.0(3) on ASA5520.
Thanks,

Hi,
They seem to be of the same "logging" level which is 6 = Informational so that should not be the problem.
I imagine that you have checked the output of "show run logging" and confirmed that the other syslog ID has NOT been disabled globally?
Can you see both Syslog IDs in some other logging destination like ASDM or Syslog Server?

Where is the mail.log in Leopard

I can't find the mail.log in the console logs. Where is it?

I don't see anything in /var/log named mail.log. What am I looking for?
The details in Mail Connection Doctor would be perfect if they are logged somewhere. I'm fairly new to Apple and see they log just about everything else.
I'm having intermittent password issues with Mail where it does not connect to the mail server and I have to enter my password even though it's stored in the keychain. I'd like to see a connection log that I can look over to try and find the problem. I think it's a problem with my ISP. The error does not happen on a regular basis and I've never had Connection Doctor running when it has happened and thought there might be a mail log somewhere.

Blank Mail Logs - Postfix - PHP

I need a really simple solution but all the instructions I've found so far involve setting up extra stuff I don't need. So I'm hoping someone can give me a quick bit of info.
Basically I have a site that sends email notifications at times (using PHP mail() function).
I have Postfix installed which I assume is handling the sending of these emails.
But no logs are being made. All the /var/log/mail.log files are completely blank 0Kb files.
I need them to log each email sent out by the server with a time. I enabled the php mail() logging function in php.ini but that doesn't include timestamping. So I need the fuller logs Postfix can do.
But the instructions I've found all want to set up full blown email servers. I just want some timestamped logging.
Can anyone help me out?

In fact most of my log files seem to be empty. Any idea why??

Firefox will not remember my e-mail log in

I had no problem with my e-mail until about a week ago. I made no changes before this. Now firefox will not remember my e-mail log in. I check the box (remember me) but it does no good. I went to tool (privacy) and went through the process to remember my log ins but nothing seems to help

Mail logs filling up disk space: why? ok to delete?

Computer spec’s: 2GHz Mac Mini with 4GB of RAM and a 250GB flash storage. I am running OS 10.9.5 and Mail 7.3.
Problem: My storage has been mysteriously filling up, with about 200 GB in “other” in “about this Mac.” I would delete files and then it would fill up again. Using WhatSize, I determined that Mail logs took up 107GB, with two files accounting for most of this (details below).
Questions: Is it safe to delete Mail logs? Why are some so big? Why are dates so random? Can I prevent large mail logs in the future?
In Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Logs, here are the dates and size of the largest files named in format: [long stream of numbers and letters]=imap.gmail.com.txt
July 15: 55.8 GB
Sept 3: 47.17 GB
Aug 6: 5.43 GB
Aug 6 3.64 GB
Then there are six files between 312GB and 867.2 GB and many others named in the above format and multiple files named in this format: [date]_GmailDelete.log dating back to May 21.
Thank you for your help.

Hi, I'm having a very similar trouble but I do not use Gmail. I have several mail accounts, essentially from 2 mail server providers (hosting and registrar companies), most accounts in IMAP but some still in POP.
I'm on a PowerBook pro, retina 15 mid 2012, 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7, with 750 Gb SSD disk", running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
Since one week I experience the same problem, disk space filling up without appearant reasons. In the Data/Library/Logs/Mail I have 541 files (!!), some of them very huge. I have deleted a 75 Gb file and another of 13Gb, but I still have files from more than 9Gb (ten file obver 1Gb).
I have changed passwords in my accounts and even to access my hosting proividers. But no changes.
Deleting the huge files in the Logs doesn't seem to affect Mails except the fact that I have to enter all POP / IMAP and SMTP passwords :-(
In the logs, the hugest files are "2015-03-18_IMAPMailboxSyncEngine.log", 2mail.mydomainname-d44f367b-6650-4ddf-9cc6-4fe08822ab6c.txt", "2015-03-21_SocketStreamEvents.log", "137778C8-7690-48F3-877E-48D400322117-mail.mydomainename.txt", and I have plenty like that.
The question is, where the problemn comes from ??
When deleting the log files ... the problem is not solved because it continues to filling it with new logs, again ..
Thank you for your assistance and help.
