OK ... I think I'm solving this. &nbsp;The following works better: 
 
get-messagetrackinglog -resultsize unlimited -Start &quot;08/31/2021 3:00PM&quot; -End &quot;09/01/2021 2:00 AM&quot; | Where {$_.Recipients -like &quot;*@blahblah.com&quot;} &gt;&nbsp;out.txt 
 
What was wrong with: &nbsp;&quot; ... | set-content -path &quot;C:\admin\out.txt&quot; ? 
 
But I'm still open to a more elegant solution that would produce a list of all email messages received within a certain time-frame.

<div>
it would be better if the result is then piped: <pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43333466-1">| Export-CSV -path C:\TEMP\Result.CSV -NotypeInformation

</code></pre>hope that helps.

Thanks so much, Senior IT System Engineer and Jian An Lim, for your helpful suggestions. &nbsp;I tried them both. &nbsp;And I wish I had the time to carefully document what worked and didn't work about each syntax. &nbsp;Jian An Lim, your suggestion ended up just producing too much information for some reason. 
 
Here's what worked for me in the end: &nbsp; 
get-messagetrackinglog -resultsize unlimited -Start &quot;08/31/2021 3:00PM&quot; -End &quot;09/01/2021 3:00 PM&quot; | 
Where {$_.Recipients -like &quot;*@blahblah.com&quot;} &gt;&nbsp;out.txt 
 
and THEN, after copying out.txt to a linux machine, do: &nbsp;dos2unix out.txt 
 
Now I have a reasonable amount of information that's useful, and I can use grep to find what I really want. 
 
Thanks both!

Using MS Exchange 2016 on-premise.  Problem:  The mail (from external senders only) is mysteriously being held for up to 14 hours and then it starts to flow again.
I'm looking for examples of using the Get-MessageTrackingLog command in Exchange Management Shell to report on all emails that are sent and delivered within a specific time frame.  I'm using help from Microsoft at:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-flow/transport-logs/search-message-tracking-logs?view=exchserver-2019
 
The command syntax that I'm using without success is:
get-messagetrackinglog -resultsize unlimited -Start "08/31/2021 3:00 PM" -End "09/01/2021 2:00 AM" | format-list send*,Recipient* | set-content -path "C:\admin\out.txt"
Here is the first line of the output of the above:
Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatEntryData
Not very useful.
What am I missing?
Thanks much.

I need an example syntax using Get-MessageTrackingLog in Exchange Server 2016
