Mail Log Display

As explained in topic Displaying the log of outbound e-mail messages, you may use an MMAIL supplied program to display on your Internet browser the log of the e-mail messages sent out by MMAIL.
Yo do that, you must first:

  1. Activate the MMAIL HTTP instance as explained in its configuration file
    (use command DSPF '/mmail/conf/httpd.conf'   )
  2. Activate the Sendmail() procedure exit point by
    • entering command MMAIL/UPDEXITP and specifying program MMAIL/LOGOUTMAIL for exit point SENDMAIL-002
    • enabling a temporary archive of the outgoing e-mail messages through command SETSAVOPT (see Archiving outbound e-mail messages).

Once that is done, on your browser enter the following URL:
http://your_IP_address:8035/mmailp/dspoutlog.pgm
to display the mail log, which looks as follow:

      • The subject of the message
      • The e-mail addresses of the receivers, in three groups: the TO's, the CC's, the BC's.
