Trying to get syslog to log info about sendmail

Question:

I am trying to get syslog to log information about sendmail.
How do I accomplish this.       
Response:

The following will set up sendmail logging:

1)  edit the syslog.conf file and add the following line:
       mail.debug              /var/spool/mqueue/log

2)  touch /var/spool/mqueue/log  (i.e. make sure the log file exists)

3)  stopsrc -s syslogd

4)  startsrc -s syslogd

After doing the above the customer successfully had mail information
logged to the /var/spool/mqueue/log file.  The shell script 
/usr/lib/smdemon.cleanu can be put into the crontab file to
roll the logs each night to provide a clean daily log.
