This section also describes how Mac OS X Server reclaims disk space used by logs and how
you can reclaim space manually.
Viewing Overall Mail Service Activity
You can use Server Status to see an overview of mail service activity. The overview reports
whether the service is running, when mail service started, and outgoing connections by
protocol.
To see an overview of mail service activity:
1
In Server Status, select Mail in the Devices & Services list.
2
Click the Overview tab.
Viewing Connected Mail Users
The Server Status application can list the users who are currently connected to the mail
service. For each user, you see the user name, IP address of the client computer, type of mail
account (IMAP or POP), number of connections, and the connection length.
To view a list of mail users who are currently connected:
1
In Server Status, select Mail in the Devices & Services list.
2
Click the Connections tab.
Viewing Mail Accounts
You can use the Server Status application to see a list of users who have mail accounts. For
each account, you see the user name, disk space quota, disk space used, and the percent of
space that is available to the user.
To view a list of mail accounts:
1
In Server Status, select Mail in the Devices & Services list.
2
Click the Accounts tab.
Reviewing Mail Service Logs
The mail service maintains eight logs, and you can use Server Status to view them.
m IMAP, POP, SMTP In, and SMTP Out logs. These four logs contain the history of activity
that is specific to each protocol.
m Router log. Routing errors and routing messages go into the router log.
m Error log. General mail service errors go into the Error log.
m Server log. General mail service information goes into the server log.
m Repair log. This log contains a history of cleanup, compression, and repairs made to the
mail database.
