thanks kirby :)
this could be most useful.

screen?

there is nothing to show (unless you want a screen shot of a log file that its going to generate) :p ;)


Edit: Kirby could you set it up so the shows in the Log Manager?

Where does it store these logs?

It stores it wherever you want it to be stored. just put the path in vBulletin Options > Error Handling & Logging

whats stored in the logs ? the actual message or just who it was sent to and the time

the entire message + headers are stored.

Thanks this will be handy to see whether it's VB or my providers that are sending mails late!

Thanks Andreas!

Wish I saw this earlier today before I made some emails... oh well, next time! :)

Great work as always.

Though as Moparx said, it would be great if it would show in the Log manager. Though, I expect there is a reason you didn't make it that way to begin with.

There are no Hooks for that ;)

Very useful. Thanks bud.

Yet, Mister developer, yet? ;)

There's a thread on vBcom where you can suggest new hook locations.

I have requested it there.

But as Andreas is a developer and I am merely a humble peasant Admin felt his views may get a better response.

Quick question...I take it this will log subscription e mails, however, does this also log e mails sent by the admin from the control panel?

I ask because I sent out an e mail to the members and it did not log it.

Thanks!

Hmmm maybe I did something wrong, did I need to create a file for it to write to, or just a writable directory?

Thanks for this, installed on 3.5.2 and everything is in check.

Going to install!
Thx!

Do I need to create a file? for it to log the mail?

If so, How do I create one?

That's the only bit I don't understand lol

Thank you for any help :)

Hello,

Can you give me an example for the "path"

I tried too many diffrent paths and didn't work..

and do I have to greate a "file.log", if so where do I place it..?

Thank you

I'm trying to suss this out too. Do I just put a path like mail_log/, do I put the complete URL or do I put the full path to the server (home/public_html/etc)?

EDIT: worked it out, all it needs is the directory name and file name. EG mail_log/email.log
