Version: iChain 1.5
We've had some inquiries about how to enable logging for the mail server. Here's what you do:
- Access the URL of the ICS server on which you installed the iChain upgrades to launch the ICS browser-based adminstration tool.
For example, http://xx.xx.xx.xx:1959/appliance/config.html
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address. - Click Cache > Web Server Accelerator > Modify.
- Select Mail Server.
- Check the Enable Indexed Format Logging check box.
