Well sendmail is a transport agent and the Bcc and Cc are part of 
a user agent which passes the data to sendmail [or what other mail
your may have].

My selective article archive shows that Danny Aldham posted about a
program called logall.c - just about a year ago in this newsgroup.
I don't recall if I've seen him posting lately.

Sendmail does have a debugging flag  -X <logfilename> but that
logs all parts of a sendmail connenction, the hand shake, all the header
information, all prepended by the process ID of the program at that
time.  Really ugly.  

If you handle a lot of mail you might want a dedicated HD for just
the logfiles :-)

We have been using a shim called logall.c written by Axel Reinhold ,
<axel@freakout.db> , that is compiled into sendmail.If you would like
a copy let me know, and I can e-mail it to you.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
