Mail Log Pro records Joomla mail and checks sender DNS

Mail Log Pro records messages sent through Joomla’s mailer and provides administrators with delivery errors, message details, resend controls and sender-domain DNS checks.

Joomla core can configure the site’s mail transport and send system messages, but it does not provide this kind of persistent per-message audit view. A template override can change the content or presentation of a notification; it cannot reliably track mail sent by every extension. Administrators otherwise tend to inspect the SMTP provider or server logs, or install an extension. According to the listing, Mail Log goes beyond core by recording successful and failed sends, the triggering context and Message-ID, applying storage rules, raising alerts, offering controlled resends and checking SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records locally.

This is for sites where lost password resets, commerce notifications, form submissions or other automated mail need an administrator-visible trail. It may suit agencies and teams responsible for several Joomla sites. A small site with little automated mail, or one already covered by detailed mail-provider monitoring, may have no practical use for it.

Check the packaging and cost carefully. The description calls this the complete free version, while the directory metadata labels the download type as paid and describes a separate paid Pro version, so the exact offer is unclear. The developer is Norbert Graup; the page lists six other extensions and no reviews. It does not establish independent testing, support terms, retention defaults or the price of the paid version. The listing identifies Joomla 6 compatibility, but those operational details still merit checking before installation.
