About Top Internet Domain Users Reports

The reports show the user mailboxes and Internet domains, which are grouped by the number of messages sent or by the volume of messages sent.

About Internet Domain Auditing Reports

The Internet Domain Auditing branch of the reports tree contains the reports for any domain audits you have defined in the MessageStats Console. Internet domain audits are used to track the sending and receiving of Internet email messages, their intended targets, and subject lines against a defined list of email domains.

Although mail contacts are internal to your Exchange environment, they point to external SMTP addresses. As such, mail contacts are marked as external on the Internet Domain Auditing reports.

Prerequisites

You must configure MessageStats to gather audit information using the Internet Domain Auditing property page.

To add Internet domains to the audit list
1
Select Exchange Organizations from the navigation tree.
2
Select an Exchange organization, then right-click and select Properties.
3
Select the Domain Auditing tab and click Add.
4
Enter the name of the domain you want to add to the list.
Enter the domain names as close as possible to the actual domain name to ensure that the correct information is audited.
For example, if you enter DomainA.com, MessageStats captures ChildDomain.DomainA.com and DomainA.com. If you enter ChildDomain.DomainA.com, MessageStats does not capture DomainA.com.
5
Click OK.

About the Internal Namespace Distribution Report

MessageStats collects the namespaces that are most likely used by a company. Namespace information is gathered from the SMTP Address recipient policy. However, these may not represent all of your internal SMTP namespaces.

You can manually identify additional internal namespaces. When all internal namespaces are identified, email traffic to those namespaces is correctly reported as internal email.

To identify additional internal namespaces
1
Select Exchange Organizations from the treeview.
2
Select an Exchange organization.
3
Right-click and select Properties.
4
Select the SMTP Namespaces tab.
5
Click Add.
6
Enter the namespace in the Add New Internal Namespace dialog box and click OK.
7
Click OK.
