If you see SMTPIN_ADDED_REJECT_SESSION in the Message ID field, (for example, 55760c10.0f4e810a.SMTPIN_ADDED_REJECT_SESSION.56cd.ffffd72a.GMR@mx.google.com), and the other fields display “N/A”, it means that both of the following are true:- The mail system can't determine the message ID.
- SMTP relay rejects relaying of the message.
- Message size—The total size of the message including attachments.
- Attachments—The number of files attached to the message.
- Expand results to all recipients— When this option appears, it means your search criteria are limiting the display of all recipients for a particular message. Click the option to override your search criteria and display all other recipients of the email.
For each recipient, this section shows the post-delivery status of a message. This is the status of a message in a user's mailbox, or an indication that the message has been deleted.
