For example, you can backup the file by running this command from SSH. cp /etc/mail/sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.backup By default, the log level for Sendmail is set to 0. (Logging is disabled.) # log level O LogLevel=0The most common log level setting is 9. # log level O LogLevel=9You can see the various log levels in this article to determine what information you want captured.
