No log for sendmail

I manage to send an email with sendmail (phew)

I guess there is a queue timer, which is why it aint sent immediatly, and I guess its' in the mc file. ill look into it soon.

What I am looking for are the logs. I don't see any.

grep mail /etc/syslog.conf
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
# Log all the mail messages in one place.
#mail.* -/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog
mail.* /var/log/maillog

however /var/log/maillog file is empty.

do I need to chmod 777 it? I think not, cause it's root who probably runs the sendmail process, is it?

thank you for your answers.
