Overview of Reports features Email Reports overview Benefits of creating email reports To keep your email infrastructure running at optimal levels, you need access to up-to-date information about threats detected in the email flowing through the appliance. Generate email reports to get information such as: • Ttypes of threats detected, such as viruses, or spam and phishing messages. • Messages that had to have an action taken upon them. • Messages that were prevented from entering or leaving your network. • Individual sender activity. Additionally, use the Email Reports feature with the Scheduled Reports feature to create regular reports, and send them immediately to other people, or at regular intervals. You can compile a list of, for example, blocked email messages using the Message Search feature (Email | Message Search). Message Search cannot locate messages if the appliance has not received the message body, such as messages blocked by the Real-time Blackhole Lists (RBLs). In this situation, use the Email Reports feature to find out about an individual message. Introduction to the Email Reports page Email Reports contains several sub-pages, accessed from the tabs beneath Email Interactive Reporting and Selection. There are four tabs beneath Email Interactive Reporting that each provide different views on a report's results.
