In order to log SMTP transactions do the following:
1) # qmailctl stop
2) Add 'SMTP_DEBUG="1"' to /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp
3) Replace contents of '/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/log/run' script with below to log transactions to different file:
#!/bin/sh
LOGSIZE=`cat /var/qmail/control/logsize`
LOGCOUNT=`cat /var/qmail/control/logcount`
exec /usr/bin/setuidgid qmaill \
/usr/bin/multilog t s$LOGSIZE n$LOGCOUNT \
'-*' '+@* server:[*' '+@* client:[*' /var/log/qmail/smtptx \
'+*' '-@* server:[*' '-@* client:[*' /var/log/qmail/smtp 2>&1
4) # qmailctl start && qmailctl cdb
5) # tail -f /var/log/qmail/smtptx/current | tai64nlocal
