Spam Reports

Spam Reports give a list of the domains that are sending spam, the users receiving spam, and provide detailed information on the most active spam filters.

Spam by Domain (Inbound)

This report shows spam messages quarantined for each domain in the selected organization.

Two types of inbound Spam by Domain reports are available. One report aggregates all messages for sub-domains and aliased domains to the primary domain. A second type of report -- the Spam by Domain (& sub-domains) report -- includes all sub-domains and domain aliases exactly as they were received without any mapping to a primary domain. The fields in these two reports are identical, and each report has the same total emails processed.
