Hi,
Yes i need to put the smtp conversation to a file for each user who wants the delivery receipt, since most of the mailservers do not allow any receipts to be sent.
I am using sendmail (exim) for sending the message that that does not call the class Deliver_SMTP.class.php (as far as I can understan) it calls Deliver_Sendmail.class.php.
So is there a way to output the smtp conversation to a file, while using exim and Deliver_Sendmail.class.php.
I see that when exim is called with -v (verbose) option it writes the smtp conversation to /etc/apache2/error.log file.
Appreciate any help in this regards.
Thanks
