Plesk Viewing qmail logs

In order to see the mail log files, you should be logged into SSH as root. The qmail logs are located in the following directory:

/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

You can use the following command to view your qmail logs:

tail -f /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

Here’s a typical log sequence showing the complete transmission of one piece of mail:
