Where I can find the logs in Exchange that I can check or see if our mail server accepted the emails from a certain domain.
Good day, I would like to know where I can find the logs in Exchange that I can check or see if our mail server accepted the emails from a certain domain. The problem is we can receive emails from other domains like yahoo,gmail etc but from a specific domain we cannot receive emails from them. I checked the whitelist of our Exchange and that domain is currently listed.

1. check from your gateway server logs like sendmail etc.

2. if that submitted the email to your hub transport server, try to track the email from the domain and find where the email got struck at.

Do you know the external sender email address if yes you can perform a message tracking on all transport server in one go by below command.

get-transportserver Ex2013-Server-* | get-messagetrackinglog -sender "externalemail@domain.com" -start "startdate" -end "enddate"
