Selecting report data to track By default, Symantec Mail Security for SMTP tracks data for several basic reports. Before you can generate other reports, you must configure Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to track and store data appropriate for the report. For example, to generate recipient-based reports, such as Spam/Virus: Specific Recipients, you must configure Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to store recipient information. See tables 9-1 through 9-8 for a list of reports and the data you must store for each type of report. Note: Because the data storage requirements for some reports can be high, refer to "Setting the retention period for report data" on page 173 to learn how to keep the report data manageable. In particular, the sender statistics usually consume a large amount of disk space. To enable data tracking for reports 1 In the Control Center, click Settings > Reports. 2 Under Report Data, select the report data you want to track. 3 Click Save. Symantec Mail Security for SMTP will begin to store the specified report data.
