sendmail and ps waux
Hi,
How can I know to which user an e-mail is being sent? When I use the command
ps waux | grep send
it shows the external server sending the e-mail,
root 16045 0.0 0.8 6284 2160 ? S 10:00 0:00 sendmail: ./i2GD0H316045 3-254.ctame701-4.telepar.net.br [200.181.177
but it doesn't show who is the local recipient.
Is there any way to show this?
Regards,
Jano

ps will show you a process is running.
IIRC the "mailq" command allows you to query the status of a mail queue, and see what emails are awaiting delivery.

sender versus recipient
Hi,
yeah I know that mailq shows the local queue of mails to be send. What I want to know is when mail is being delivered to my domain who is the recipient on my server.
eg. joe@hisdomain.com sends a mail to me jano@mydomain.com.
While server.hisdomain.com is delivering the mail to mail.mydomain.com I want to see who the recipient is/will be, i.e. jano
Any ideas?
Jano
