#30 MONITORING -> Display operation messages to console

[ZEE]

if we start emailrelay.exe from a console
we should receive monitoring messages in the same console...

a parameter like --debug 1..3? would be nice
(--debug 1 as default and --debug 0 to disable it)
to select the level of information displayed (1=less 2=medium 3=all)

I'm tail'ing the log by now...
but a native option would be more performant and better formatted

You probably want to use "emailrelay-textmode.exe". It writes log messages to the console via the standard error stream.

There are currently three logging levels, of course -- normal, "--verbose" and off! -- and debug logging can be enabled with "--debug" if it's built in. I suppose two "--verbose"s could be used to enable debug logging, but I don't really want to put the debug log messages into the release build.

Are there partiular things you are interesting in seeing, or not seeing, in the verbose log output?
