Error Logging for the EMWAC Internet Mail Services

If an error in the operation of one of the services occurs, the error will be logged in the Application Event Log. This log may be viewed with the Event Viewer, which you will find in the Administrative Tools program group in the Program Manager. See your Windows NT documentation for details of how to use the Event Viewer.

Note that the Event Viewer uses the EXE file for the service in question to interpret messages associated with events. Therefore, if you remove the executable file, the events for the corresponding service in your Application Event Log will be unintelligible.

When a service is started or stopped, Information events are recorded in the Application Event Log.
