Hi. On my site http://portal.wikinerds.org I saw in the log that somebody wrote a message to me visa the Feedback module (4.5.0). I never received it. I want to read this message, but the only info I have is the name of the person who wrote it, the subject and his or her IP address. i was unsuccessful in trying to find that person via Google. So, what can I do to read the lost message? And why it got lost? Could it be because I had enabled the "verify email address" option?

This module logs all ATTEMPTS to send messages, regardless of whether they are successful or not.

The person could have tried to send you a message but did not enter their email or left the subject blank or something. This will get logged, but no message will be sent to the site admin.

ok, but how can I find the lost message? logically the message text should be saved somewhere, if not by the module it should be by the apache server, right?

No, it does not save this info anywhere.

This is transient info, taken from the web form, and handed over to the mail server.

Apache does not store any info, it just serves the info.

Cross reference to the other problem http://drupal.org/node/17972 where there is an explanation for what logging is.
