I read the handbook sendmail section and it's meaningless. Really need something more informative. I see in the syslog.conf file an facility of mail.* writing to /var/log/maillog. Ever time mail is sent and when the system is booted this log gets posted with event records. So I know this is sendmails log. Is there some way to tell sendmail to use local5 as it's facility and not mail? I also see /var/log/sendmail.st but this log file is not in syslog.conf. What is this file? I use /etc/rc.conf hostname='gateway.fbsdjoned.com' and sendmail is using userid@gateway.fbsdjoned.com. How do I tell sendmail to use just @fbsdjones.com? How do I tell sendmail to not do reverse IP lookup? Is the /var/log/maillog scanned by the daily cron management report jobs?
