Re: How can I know if error happens when sending mail?

["Chengqi(Lars) Song" <songcq@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Markus,

Thanks for the method you provided. In fact I thought of that too. But still 
it's not efficient to watch that log file everytime after sending a mail. 
Logwatch should work but still I wonder if there is any easier way to do this 
job. Could we possible wrap msmtp in a shell script, and in the script call 
pass all parameters to msmtp and watch consequential results? Have anybody done 
that?

Thanks
Lars
