You can check the log of your Message Transfer Agent (MTA) like sendmail, postfix or mailman etc.. Usually they write their log into /var/log/mail.log or something similar on Linux. Other OS can have different logfiles or directories for that.

NAME
Log::Agent::Tag::Priority - a log priority tag string SYNOPSIS
Not intended to be used directly Inherits from Log::Agent::Tag. DESCRIPTION
This class represents a log priority tag string. CREATION ROUTINE PARAMETERS
The following parameters are defined, in alphabetical order: "-display" => string Specifies the priority/level string to display, with minimal variable substitution. For instance: -display => '[$priority/$level]' The defined variables are documented in the DISPLAY VARIABLES section underneath. "-level" => level This parameter is internally added by "Log::Agent" when computing the priority tag, since only it knows the level of the current messsage. "-postfix" => flag Whether tag should be placed after or before the log message. By default, it is prepended to the log message, i.e. this parameter is false. "-priority" => prio This parameter is internally added by "Log::Agent" when computing the priority tag, since only it knows the priority of the current messsage. "-separator" => string The separation string between the tag and the log message. A single space by default. DISPLAY VARIABLES
The "-display" switch understands a few variables that can be substituted in the supplied string. Both $var and "${var}" forms are supported. Unknown variables are left untouched. $priority The full priority name of the logged message, e.g. "warning" or "error". $level The associated priority level of the logged message, a number. For instance, the level associated to "warning" is 4. See Log::Agent::Priorities for the default name -> level mapping. AUTHOR
