If you’re using Google’s Postini for email security and encryption, tracking your email history just got easier.
By February 4, 2010, Google will add this helpful feature to Systems 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 200.
From Google:
With the new Message Log Search function, users can now track what happened to an inbound or outbound message — whether it was delivered, quarantined, archived, encrypted, or other disposition — and see if the message triggered a specific filter. Message Log Search also enables users to track all messages for a specific sender, recipient, domain, or IP address.
While the message security service stores information about your messages in a log (such as the message header and how the message was processed), it does not store the actual messages. If you want to save search results for later analysis, you’ll be able to export a .csv file.
This is a nice feature for Postini users and will help us to determine what has been happening to our messages: how messages were processed, filtered and delivered, and it will give insight in the traffic patterns for our domain.
We’ll try running some searches on the data using a variety of criteria and queries and let you know what we think.
