By default, when the Router is unable to deliver a mail message, Domino® records information in the server log file (LOG.NSF). When you troubleshoot messaging, you may want to record additional information in the log file.

Procedure

1. Make sure you already have a Configuration Settings document for the server(s) to be configured.

2. From the Domino Administrator, click the Configuration tab and expand the Messaging section.

3. Click Configurations.

4. Select the Configuration Settings document for the mail server or servers you want to administer, and click Edit Configuration.

5. Click the Router/SMTP -> Advanced -> Controls tab.

6. Complete this field in the Miscellaneous Controls section, and then click Save & Close:

Field

Logging level

Choose one: Minimal - Domino logs all mandatory status messages and fatal error messages. Normal (default) - Domino logs all minimal events, plus warning messages indicating conditions that do not cause processing to stop. Informational - Domino logs all minimal and normal events, plus informational messages involving intermediate storage, MAIL.BOX access, message handling, message conversion, and transport status. Verbose - Domino logs all minimal, normal, and informational events, plus additional messages that may help you troubleshoot system problems. Note: To prevent the log file from becoming excessively large, use Verbose logging only when troubleshooting specific problems.
