Sendmail Logs

[Kelly Hamlin]

i beleive the problem lies some where other than syslog. Im able to do
logger -p mail.info test and it writes fine. I think there is something
between mailscanner and logger.pl which is what actually writes the logs to
syslog. I may be wronge, but im almost sure im right. How can i test
logger.pl to make sure its writing or to maybe debug to see what the hangup
is?
