How to view email traffic in the MTA of Brightmail Gateway

First of all, we must enable DEBUG mode for the MTA logs from Control Center> Administration> Settings> Logs.

 



Select the Debug mode. And then you click on SAVE. We will notify you restart Brightmail Gateway. Click on Restart Now.

> tail-f maillog


 
In this way we begin to see traffic.
