Inbound Messages

Summary

Here we show outcome of all mail received. If its not listed, JEMHC never got the mail (in full). For a limited time the mail is available here for review, and can be re-executed or converted in to a JEMHC Test Case for further testing.

Retention of inbound/outbound mail is for diagnostic purposes, we currently have a rolling limit of 100 notifications. Retention can be opted-out, re-enabling requires contacting support@thepluginpeople.com

 

Audit Functions

For each inbound message there is a range of functions that can assist with diagnosing issues. These functions are:

View report

This will show the Processing report for that email including any errors found.

Go To Profile

This takes you the configuration for the Profile that was used to process this email.

Export

This exports the email as text file allowing you to view the full email before processing

Delete

This will delete the email from the audit page.

Flag for Support

This will flag the message for support which will allow PPL Support to view the original email, processing report and an export of the Profile.

Maintenance traffic

The Inbound Messages auditing page allows you to find traffic that is maintenance, that represent messages that did not create or update an issue. Typically, such messages are not addressed to a recipient that has been set as a catchemail (mailbox) address in the Profile. We know this can also be due to manually using the mailbox account and sending mail (tell tale sign is that the mail in is from your inbound mailbox address).

Locate maintenance traffic by filtering on Usage : Maintenance In

You should locate the source of maintenance traffic and remove as it will consume your Plan for no real benefit. Left unchecked, high levels of maintenance can consume all your monthly capacity, and result in service interruption until more is purchased!

Viewing Report

Within the Report it will show the relevant information about the processing of that email. This includes the sender user, the issue that was created and any errors that has stopped the processing of the email.

This will display a report similar to the following.
