Run a Log Search

From the Log Search tab in the Administration Console, you can run queries
based on the following criteria. Many log searches include the date range, sender,
and/or recipient only; but you can also narrow your search by specifying inbound
or outbound traffic, as well as the message disposition and other criteria:

Date range: This range corresponds to the time zone for the organization in
which you’re running the search. Select a date range that matches the date
and time the message was sent. You can use a date range such as

Today,

Yesterday, Last 7 days, or Last 30 Days

.

The time zone for an organization is displayed adjacent to the search fields --
for example, America/New_York. This format specifies a country or world
region, followed by a specific location within that region.

From: Enter the complete email address of the sender -- for example,

[email protected]

. You can also run a search by domain by entering

the domain name of the sender -- for example,

cuppamocha.com

.

To: Enter the complete email address of the recipient -- for example,

[email protected]

. You can enter multiple addresses in this field, and

you can search by domain by entering the domain name of the recipient -- for
example,

cuppamocha.com

. For multiple entries, place a comma or semicolon

between each address or domain -- for example,

[email protected], [email protected],

[email protected].

Direction: Specifies whether your search includes inbound or outbound
messages. If you leave this field blank, your search includes both inbound
and outbound.

Disposition: Narrows the search to include only messages that were
processed in a specific way after passing through the message security
service filters -- for example, Quarantined, Bounced, or Encrypted. Select the
Disposition from the drop-down list.
