Re: Simple question on sendmail log files for Solaris 10

Sendmail logs to syslog, so the location of your log files is determined
by /etc/syslog.conf. I haven't worked with Solaris 10, but the default
syslog configuration in previous versions of Solaris was pretty minimal;
some stuff went to /var/adm/messages, and I'm not sure if the stock
configuration enabled logging for the mail facility.

Take a look at your /etc/syslog.conf and the appropriate man pages.
