Exchange mailbox traffic reports

Monitoring mailbox traffic is one of the important tasks performed by an Exchange administrator. When properly performed, this task can help prevent most of the internal attacks and recurring server or email queue issues. Exchange Reporter Plus' mailbox traffic reports offer insights on mailbox traffic, in terms of number and size. It equips an Exchange administrator with the data required to make important decisions like:

• Improving the Exchange server space for email communication.
• Securing the Exchange server organization against spam.
• Tracing and reporting on the mailbox traffic in the organization to ensure security.
• Fixing email delivery issues.

Optimizing server space for emails

There might be instances where one server is handling considerably more load than another. In such cases, data gathered from mailbox traffic reports helps balance server loads and enables smoother operations in the Exchange environment. This helps to monitor Exchange server performance and plan future capacity needs.

Protecting the email server against spam

An abnormally high number of emails, either originating from or directed to a particular Exchange-user's mailbox, is a clear sign of malicious activity. While in rare cases this might be intentional, it is often malware that causes these anomalies. Using the data gathered from the Exchange mailbox traffic reports, an Exchange administrator can be promptly alerted to take necessary action.
