       Mail [5.2 UCB] [AIX 5.X]  Type ? for help.
       "/var/spool/mail/dd": 351 messages 2 new 351 unread
 
       U346 MAILER-DAEMON     Thu Jan 30 19:37 7889/486854 "Returned mail: see transcrip"

What does line: "U346 MAILER-DAEMON Thu Jan 30 19:37 7889/486854 "Returned mail: see transcrip" mean?

How can I read the content?

Hi,
Thank you.
Sorry I thought it was clear since the first line of output shows:

Mail [5.2 UCB] [AIX 5.X]

Then on UNIX AIX 7.1

Thanks.

What is your currently logging level for your mail daemon process?

5

Thanks.
My currently logging level is unix user. In dba group.
Not root.
Regrads.

That is not a logging level.

AIX: syslogd [-a] [ -d ] [ -s ] [ -f ConfigurationFile ] [ -m MarkInterval ] [ -r ] [ -R ] [ -n ] [ -N ] [ -p LogName ] [ -M all ] [ -A AdditionalLog ] [-e]

What logging level are you running for your mail daemon process?

Thanks.
Sorry for misunderstanding: logging and login!!!

Any way, how to know that?
I'm not root then I can not see sendmail.cf fiel.
Regards.

You should find the location of your syslogd configuration file.

Please find it and post the results back here.

Thanks.
