Enable SMTP logging in Exchange 2010
By default logging is disabled for the SMTP protocol. I need to enable it for troubleshooting so here is how to do that using the EMC (Exchange Management Console):
- Open EMC
- Navigate to Microsoft Exchange On-Premises -> Server Configuration -> Hub Transport
- Right-click the required receive connector and choose Properties
- Change the Protocol logging level from None to Verbose
- Click OK
By default the logs are stored in C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\TransportRoles\Logs\ProtocolLog\SmtpReceive
