stat=
The status of delivery syslog equate
Whenever the delivery status of a mail message
changes, sendmail logs the
event and includes the stat=
to specify why the change
happened. For example, a mail message might
initially be queued because the recipient’s host was
down:
stat=queued
Later it might change again because it succeeded in being delivered:
stat=Sent (HAA03001 Message accepted for delivery)
In transmitting a mail message via SMTP, the stat=
will include the
actual text that the other host printed when it
accepted the mail message, as shown earlier. But in
delivering locally, the stat=
is more succinct:
stat=Sent
In the case of bounced mail, the stat=
will show the
reason for failure:
stat=User unknown
The stat=
syslog equate is included only
in recipient records.
