Hi All, I am trying to generated SMTP logs on Exchange Server 2003. I followed the steps in http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/Logging_the_SMTP_Service.html. Then I send some mails to the subscriber on that exchange system. I was expecting folder SMTPSVC1 will generate with the logs. But no luck. May I know what is missing and how I can get rid of this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hi, There is no SMTPSVC folder or the folder is empty? Please check the following settings in Exchange system manager: your sever name | Protocols | SMTP | SMTP virtual server | make sure the active log format is W3C Extended log file format and enable logging is checked | properties | general tab, please check the log file directory and log file name in that tab. Is that correct? Thanks, Elvis

Hi Elvis ,Thanks for the reply. I have already checked the setting mentioned in your comment. All these settings are corret, still SMTP logs are not logged.There is no SMTPSVC1 folder. Mahesh

Did you stop and restart the SMTP service?Did you send mail from an external address to an address on the Exchange server?Karl

hi sir i have the problem of exchange server is my internal network exchange mail user can send and recevie the mails but they dont send mail tothe public netowork...like yahoo,gmail,etc and vice varsa not recevie to mails.plz ans me...

Hi Karl,Yes I did that. I sent a message from and to on the same Exchange address. I think in this case also it should log some entries in SMTP logs .
