I've had intermittent email notifications, and I'm finally getting around to trying to chase this down.
I've viewed other threads, I think I have all the bits configured. (I'd describe the required configuration as both arcane, and not very well documented.)
I'm expecting that I would find traces in the FreeNAS system log files of attempts to send email notifications, and if they failed, I'm hoping to tell at what stage, and maybe even find evidence of what happened.
/var/log/maillog Seems to have headers of messages, but no indication if they were sent successfully (maybe presence there means they were?). I do see evidence of some cron job notifications that I'm not receiving in this file.
Not finding anything mail related in /var/log/messages or /var/log/system. Although with no emacs it's hard to be at all sure that I've seen what's there accurately (and in their proper relationships).
Where else might I find information? Will I find log entries for successful attempts to send email? For failed attempts to send email? Or is that not being logged?
