Hi An email was sent out today as below: To: 'All IT Staff', 'All Marketing Staff', 'All HR Staff' BCC: 'All News staff' From: joe.bloggs@kam.com Subject: News Update The three DL's that the emails were sent to contain numerous sub-DL's, which in turn contain numerous sub-DL's and so on. I had some questions about Message tracking (get-messagetrackinglog) that I hoped someone could help me with: 1. Should I expect the output of the message tracking output to show me the DL names or the actual recipient names in the recipient field? 2. Should I expect the output of the message tracking output to show recipients to whom the email was BCC'd too as well? Message tracking doesn't differenciate between BCC'd or normally To: recipients? 3. Is there a way to get Message tracking to show either all the direct recipients (i.e. the names within the DL's, sub'DL's etc) or the DL names only?

Depends on what version of Exch youre using. You can use SMTP logs and message tracking logs and can parse these files using log parser or something similar to see where and who the message was sent to. Depends on Exch version youre using you will get different info and how the message is delieverd. And if you have logging enabled. Seems like 2007/2010. up the logging and you should be able to see this and in message tracking via the GUI. (EMC) Sukh

1. You should see both. The initial event will be a RECEIVE event that shows the DL followed by an EXPAND event that shows the members of the DL. The subsequent tracking log events such as TRANSFER, DELIVER, and SEND will also show the individual names. 2. The tracking logs will show all recipients of a message including the BCCS. 3. By filtering your powershell command you should be able to report only the RECEIVE event to get the DL names or one of the other events to see only the user names.TBrennan
