    And this probably is the easiest way to configure it. But, provided my
    memory serves me well, nothing gets logged to /var/log/mail.log if I set
    this up in the MUA . And I need some logs to /var/log/mail.log when
    sending mails. Sendmail usually writes them excellently, and I want its
    loggings. I do all my mail transfer stuff with sendmail, since long. I
    just didn't find out so far how to handle this special problem.
