Log

Important points:

  • The log contains information only about successful calls to the PHP function mail (depending on the parameters passed, a successful call to the function does not always mean that the message was sent successfully — the function may run without errors, but the messages will not be sent). If the function returns an error, this information is written to the PHP error log.
  • The log contains only information about the script that sent the message and the main headers. It is not possible to retrieve the text of the message or download it.
  • Time in the log is not recorded on sites with PHP version lower than 5.5.

  • "Time" — the time the message was sent.
  • "Record" — consists of several parts:
    • mail() on [/home/example/example.com/www/script.php:ХХ] — path to the file /home/example/example.com/www/script.php and line number :XX, where the PHP mail function was called.
    • To: admin@example.com — recipient's mailbox specified in the TO header.
    • Headers: — additional headers that were specified when sending the message.
    • Subject: — the subject of the sent message.
