mailx logging
Can anyone tell me of any logging that mailx does in the event of message delivery failure. For instance, I attempted to send emails (via a script) to our exchange server. Our exchange server was down yesterday, and to me it appears the emails have gone off in oblivion.
I checked syslog.log, did a man on mailx, and did some poking around on the forum but couldn't find anything.
Thanks for the help.

Re: mailx logging
We use mailx to send all of our mail messages from our system monitoring scripts. I just took a look at /var/adm/syslog/mail.log as Rob Smith pointed out and noticed that it shows when and who mail was sent to. If you are looking for a sent folder as you see in Lotus or Outlook, I'm not sure.
Good Luck.

Re: mailx logging
You could check the /etc/syslog.conf file, there is a facility for logging informational messages to a particular file.
My factory install of HPUX provided /var/adm/syslog/mail.log as the file for all mail related log
entries. Mostly these are related to mail that is outgoing to external systems.
If you want to audit use of mailx you may be able to do so with an HP trusted solution, however, you should know that mailx is only one of several options for a mail client on a unix system (see also mail,rmail,xmh,elm,procmail...etc)
You might do better by looking at logging from the server
(I assume sendmail). You can make the mail server log every mail message it sends out.
Buy a good book on sendmail configuration.
