Setting Mail Service Log Detail Level
Mail service logs can show several levels of reported detail. The three levels of detail
are:
• Low (errors only)
• Medium (errors and messages)
• High (all events)
You can choose log detail for each service category (outgoing, incoming, or junk mail
filter).
To set the mail service log detail:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the Other tab.
4 Select the Service whose log detail you want to set.
a SMTP is outgoing mail and connections from external mail servers.
b POP/IMAP is incoming mail retrieval for users.
c Junk Mail/Virus log is for the junk mail service.
5 Choose a detail level from the Log Detail Level pop-up menu.
6 Click Save.
Archiving Mail Service Logs by Schedule
Mac OS X Server automatically archives mail service logs after a certain amount of time.
Each archive log is compressed and uses less disk space than the original log file. You
can customize the schedule to archive the logs after a set period of time, measured in
days.
To archive logs by schedule:
1 In Server Admin, select Mail in the Computer & Services list.
2 Click Settings.
3 Select the Other tab.
4 Click “Archive Logs Every ____ Days.”
5 Enter the desired number of days.
6 Click Save.
