Detailed Reporting on Mail Traffic

Products

• Messaging Gateway

Issue/Introduction

Does the Messaging Gateway provide comprehensive reports concerning mail traffic, specifically detailing metrics such as the volume of messages successfully delivered to a particular IP address?

Resolution

While the native reporting functionality within Messaging Gateway offers a high-level summary of processed messages, more specific and detailed data can be obtained through the utilization of remote logging.

Messaging Gateway possesses the capability to forward Message Audit Log data to an external syslog server, such as a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. Log handling applications and SIEM platforms generally feature more robust and granular reporting capabilities, making this the preferred methodology for addressing specialized reporting requirements.
