Test logging smtp server on ASA

[John Blakley]

Is there a way to test the smtp server from the ASA without having to wait for a problem to see if it works?

thanks,

John

John-

Have you looked at packet tracer?

logging message level

...change a 'normal' logging message to a level that will trigger an smtp log message.

w/o seeing your current logging config, that's what i'd suggest. don't leave the message level changed for too long if it is a common log message, otherwise it will use up the resources in the ASA quickly. you can also use an ACL to control it further.
