Activate Option

Updated in release: 8.1

The  Message Trace option,   (or in legacy configuration the   parameter  ), enables message tracing. Permitted values are,  ,  , and. Specifying  causes message tracing to be written in  traditional format, to a file named. Specifying  causes message trace entries to be written in an easy-to-parse XML format, similar to the MTA&#x27;s XML format  message transaction entries, to a file named. As of MS 8.0.1, the Message Store  log format (selected via  ) is deprecated in favor of the Message Store action log format (selected via  ) which uses an easy-to-parse format (XML) described in the Store Transaction Log Format section.

Note that the default values for the actions and actionattributes have changed in 8.0.2; they both need to be set to "all" explicitly to get functionality that is a superset of the old  or   settings.

Starting with the Messaging Server 8.1 release, the legacy  format has been removed so both   and   values are treated as synonyms for.

The default value is: transactlog
