AIX7-00-003038 - AIX sendmail logging must not be set to less than nine in the sendmail.cf file.

Information

If Sendmail is not configured to log at level 9, system logs may not contain the information necessary for tracking unauthorized use of the sendmail service.

Solution

Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file, locate the "O LogLevel" line, or add a new line if necessary, and change the log level to "9". The new LogLevel line should be:
O LogLevel=9
