Viewing the Mail Service Logs

You can use tail or any other file listing tool to view the contents of the Mail service logs.

To view the latest entries in a log:

$ tail log-file

You can use the serveradmin getLogPaths command to see where the Mail service logs are located.

To display the log locations:

$ sudo serveradmin command mail:command = getLogPaths
