Hello, I have a serious question about the logs that the server have! I want to find for example logs from exim_mainlog before 1-2 years! Something like that is possible? Can make it possible? WHM and cPanel offer to choose how long I can have server logs? I try to search logs for an email that was 5 months old from my cPanel /var/log/exim_mainlog and I can't find it! Also I notice that the logs every month was changed! (Not only in exim) Please can inform me for how long the server have the logs and if I have an option to search old logs after 1-2 years or after 5-6 months? cPanel how use the logs? Thank you!

  You won't be able to search back that far. exim logfiles are rotated out. You can find those here: /var/log/

  Some options for logging are located here: WebHost Manager "Server Configuration "Tweak Settings, Stats and Logs tab.
