Take the tour ×  is it possible, like in title, to find a
particular user's email transaction history in CentOs? Tried
/var/log/maillog but doesn't seems like it....  share|improve

accepted  No, not in the default configuration. First, log files
will get rotated really quickly so you loose history, and
secondly there is nothing that really prevents a user from using
another mail server to send mail, although this gets
increasingly uncommon due to spam filtering issues.
share|improve this answer in the default configuration, is there
a backup of emails stored somewhere? I am not sure what mail
application CentOS is using as I am not really the adminstrator

you are wrong here to begin with (see our faq). Second, even the
From/To mail history is a grey area from a privacy point of
view, but reading the actual content is definitely something you
need to discuss with your lawyer first. –  SvW Fe
