Explanation

In Microsoft Exchange Server, message tracking logs are stored by default under C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\ and are named after the server (e.g., servername.log). When message tracking is enabled on Exchange, all mail flow events-including sent, received, and deleted messages-are recorded here, making this log a critical artifact for investigating email-related incidents.
