PMDF System Manager's Guide

The logging channel keyword, described in Section 2.3.4.84, can be used with the MAILSERV channel to enable logging activity. Activity is logged in the PMDF mail log file. See Section 32.1 for a general description of this file. When logging is enabled, then in addition to normal channel enqueue and dequeue entries, the MAILSERV channel will also write a log entry for each command processed. The "type of entry" item in each such log file entry will be a single character selected from the set F, S:

Logging Code	Type	Description
F	Failure	Error processing command; command not executed
S	Success	Command successfully executed

The format of the log file entries for the MAILSERV channel command processing will be:

1. The date the entry was made (e.g., "29-NOV-1990").
2. The time the entry was made (e.g., "12:13:18").
3. The name of the channel logging the entry ("mailserv").
4. The beginning time and ending time of the execution of the command in HHMMSSHHMMSS format.
5. The success (S) or failure (F) of the command.
6. The "message size" field will always be zero, 0, for MAILSERV command entries.
7. The envelope From: address of the originator of the message whose command is being executed.
8. The MAILSERV command.
9. The number of seconds spent processing the command.
