This document explains how to enable SMTP logging in Voicemail Pro in order to troubleshoot SMTP problems.

To enable SMTP logging, follow these steps to create a new registry key:

  1. Stop the Voicemail Pro Service.

  2. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

  3. Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

  4. Expand SOFTWARE.

  5. Click Directories.

SMTP log file location

Once enabled, the Voicemail Pro will generate a log file of the SMTP activity in the Voicemail Pro Logs Folder assuming a default installation on Drive C:

C:\Program Files\Avaya\IP Office\Voicemail Pro\VM\Logs

The file name is generated as SMTP-DDMMYYY.log. For example, the log file for the 27th March 2007 will be called SMTP-27032007.log
