System Capacity – Incoming Mail

The System Capacity – Incoming Mail page shows incoming connections, the total number of incoming messages, the average message size, and the total incoming message size. You can view the results for a day, week, month, or year. It is important to understand the trends of normal message volume and spikes in your environment. You can use the System Capacity – Incoming Mail page to track volume growth over time and plan for system capacity. You might also want to compare the incoming mail data with the sender profile data to view the trends in volumes of email messages that are sent from specific domains to your network.

Note
An increased number of incoming connections may not necessarily affect system load.
