Introduction
Mail Log records every e-mail sent through the Joomla mailer and shows you who triggered it, who it went to, whether delivery succeeded and — as far as you allow — its content. Failed deliveries are captured alongside successful ones, with the mail server's exact error message, so you always have proof of what your site actually sent.
Privacy is built in, and you decide how much is kept. Out of the box the full message text and the complete raw message are stored, because only then can the log answer what was sent; an excerpt or metadata only are one setting away. Sensitive mails such as password resets, confirmation links and one-time codes are detected by subject and logged as metadata only, so the reset link never lands in the log. Optional encryption derives its key from the Joomla site secret and keeps no key material in the database. Captured attachments sit in Joomla's log directory behind guard files and are served only through an access-controlled controller; if they lie in the web directory and the web server ignores those files, the dashboard warns the administrator. Reading message bodies is a separate permission from viewing the list..
When something goes wrong you see it at once, with optional throttled admin alerts, and you can resend a lost mail in one click — to the original recipients or another address, with built-in abuse limits. A dashboard shows volume, peak hours and failure rates; log rules decide what is stored while display rules only hide rows; a CSV export is safe against spreadsheet formula injection; scheduled tasks keep the the database and attachments tidy. Administrator-only; strictlylocal, no data leaves your site.
