Message Trace and timeline

Following one message through acceptance, security, queue and delivery.

Locate a message

Use message identifier, sender, recipient, subject, time range or queue or outbox ID. A precise query makes it easier to distinguish similar messages.

Timeline

Trace combines sequential events: acceptance, validation, security decision, enqueue, claim, retry, delivery or failure. Identify the first deviation from the expected flow.

Interpretation

  • No acceptance — review SMTP or Edge and DNS.
  • Accepted but not queued — review validation and security.
  • Queue is retry — read the last error and next-attempt time.
  • Sent is recorded but the recipient does not see it — review remote response, Spam and the recipient system.

Evidence

For a support ticket, record the trace ID, domain, time range and final state. Do not copy the entire message body unless it is required for analysis.
