Sendmail Logs

[Kelly Hamlin]

ok, i was able to write to syslog with logger..
i see the same stuff that was being written to messages now in mail, but
still nothing reguarding spam or virus's. I keep sending my self a virus
from another machine, and mailscanner is cleaning the message, but still
nothing in the syslog/messages/mail logs.
and there is no packet filtering on this box right now. i checked services
and 514/udp is setup.
