How to get outbound external messages statistics reports in Exchange Online?
Microsoft 365 offers basic reporting capabilities with message trace. Using the 'Get-MessageTrace' cmdlet you can retrieve emails sent to external domains in your Microsoft 365 environment.
Get-MessageTrace -StartDate MM/DD/YYYY-EndDate MM/DD/YYYY | Where-Object –Property RecipientAddress –NotLike "*<YourDomainName>"
However, 'Get-MessageTrace' is limited to getting message data only for the past 10 days and also requires multiple filtering.
For more comprehensive reporting, AdminDroid offers advanced features that surpass these limitations, providing extensive insights and detailed reports on outbound external emails.
