Log level setting in Sendmail to use sendmail.log.pl and get results

[Brian Chivers]

Thanks for that , I have now altered the syslogd to start with the -r -m
option's sounds goo and I have no idea what it does but hopefully I should
now get some messages about virus and spam so I can  get sendmail.log.pl to
tell me more than just the amount of mail passing through the servers.

Thanks again
Brian
