Create a report showing how many emails were sent/received from/to the Exchange organization

Question:

I would like to know the specific reports I would need to run to obtain the following information:

• The quantity of email sent/received internally.
• The quantity of email sent/received externally.

Answer:

The Global Traffic Comparison by Correspondent report template would meet your requirements. You will find it on the Templates > Global Traffic menu.

You would use the following settings:

• Period tab: Select your reporting period;
• Selection tab: Select one or more Exchange servers;
• Group tab: No grouping (or Server if you have selected several servers);
• Correspondents tab: Select internal and external traffic: Correspondent type=Internal OR Correspondent type =Internet;

• Recipient type tab: All recipient types;
• Options tab: Count messages sent to n recipients, n times;
• Content tab: Select Correspondents' address type under Detail level;
• Presentation tab: Display: Graph & Table, Size in MB;
• Output tab: Your own choice (Screen, Printer, Disk file, Email recipient, SharePoint, Database table).

The report will display 4 pie charts showing the distribution of internal versus external messages.
