Top domain mailflow status report in the new Exchange admin center in Exchange Online

The Top domain mailflow status report in the new Exchange Admin Center (EAC) contains two tabs providing insight into your inbound and outbound mail flow status for your organization. You can find this report at Reports > Mail Flow in the new EAC.

  • On the Inbound page, you can find information on whether your email domains are receiving external messages or not. Typically, these types of issues are related to MX record problems or an expired domain.

  • On the Outbound page, the report gives you insights into your outbound mail flow, for example, which outbound pools are used to send mail out of your organization.

Note

The Outbound page-based report provides information about only specific domains that fulfill certain criteria to use outbound pools to send emails. For more information on such domains, see Outbound page.
