Is it possible to monitor SMTP conversations?

Solution

Yes, it is possible to monitor SMTP conversations. This is a useful tool for debugging issues with SMTP translations.

To see the SMTP hand shake with a particular destination hostname, issue the following commands:

Log Addroute Smtpwatch DIAG.MTA.*(host=destination.host.name) Watch ""

Log Diagwatch DIAG.MTA.*(host=destination.host.name)

where destination.host.name is the host name of the appliance you want to monitor.
