Check SMTP log file on Exchange 2010

How to enable the detail mail flow tracking on Exchange 2010 ?

Is it possible to rotate these log to save disk space, keep for 14 days only ?

Thx

Hi,
With powershell you can use
Get-MessageTrackingLog
To change the path:
Set-TransportServer <Identity> -MessageTrackingLogPath <LocalFilePath>
Run the following command on a Mailbox server:
Set-MailboxServer <Identity> -MessageTrackingLogPath <LocalFilePath>

I mean the detail IP information and negotiation. Can this be setup through GUI ?

Thx

This is an exemple:
I guess it's possible just with powershell
get-messagetrackinglog -Server "servername" -EventID "RECEIVE" -Start "04/15/2017 7:19:00 AM" -End "04/15/2017 10:29:00 AM" | select-object sender,recipients,serverip | sort-object ServerIP | Out-File c:\report.txt

As for log retention, you should use circular logging. If you cannot use it for some reason, look at this article

Message tracking logs will maintain up to 30 days by default in Exchange 2010, if you want detail message track log, you have to enable the SMTP log
