In order to find how a specific email is being processed by FortiMail, the Cross-search log can be used. Usually,more than one email can be found in the same SMTP session, as the image below shows.

Previous picture shows three different emails (three different email subjects) in one SMTP Session, which makes it difficult to see each email handling process.

 

It is recommended to search for the Message ID option field inside the cross-search log, which will show a unique email log record and offer a better view of each email processed by FortiMail.

Message ID can also be accessed by right-clicking on the History Log field.
