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:
- Activate the MMAIL HTTP instance as explained in its configuration file
(use command DSPF '/mmail/conf/httpd.conf' )
- 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:
