Use Email DLP logs to gain granular visibility into your email processing pipeline and maintain the uninterrupted flow of business communications. These logs capture detailed records of all emails received by the smart host (the SMTP relay that forwards emails to Enterprise DLP for inspection) and help you troubleshoot delayed messages and optimize system performance.
You can use Email DLP logs to:
  • Track Email Processing Phases—Monitor exact delivery statuses to determine if an email is currently undergoing analysis or queued for delivery.
  • Monitor Scan Durations—Review precise timestamps for when the system captured and released an email to understand the total processing time.
  • Identify Message Characteristics—View exact email sizes and attachment details to resolve potential issues without inspecting sensitive email content directly.
  • Perform Historical Reviews—Filter logs by specific users, delivery states, retry counts, and time frames for comprehensive analysis.
  • Verify Routing Information—Track specific senders, recipients, message IDs, and subject lines.
  • Monitor Security Outcomes—View scan results and policy decisions to determine if an email matched a data profile or bypassed scanning.
  • Review Delivery Statuses—Determine if Enterprise DLP successfully delivered an email, left it pending, or sent a Non-Delivery Report (NDR) or Delivery Status Notification (DSN).
  • Take Action on Queued Emails—Retry or purge emails stuck in the outbound deferred queue directly from the Logs page.
