List email accounts sending more than 2000 email per 24 hours.

Question

Hi ,

As per this https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/exchange-online-to-introduce-external-recipient-rate-limit/ba-p/4114733

MS is enforcing a limit on external emails.

Is there a way apart from below reports to fetch list of all email accounts that send more than 2k emails in 24 hour.

--There is an email usage (Email sent and received per mailbox) report in the Microsoft 365 admin center which shows usage for 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days.

Hi，@Swati Arora

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

To get a list of all email accounts that sent more than 2,000 emails in a 24-hour period, consider using Exchange Online PowerShell in addition to the Email Usage Report in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.

You can run the following cmdlet:

$startDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) $endDate = Get-Date Get-MessageTrace -StartDate $startDate -EndDate $endDate | Group-Object SenderAddress | Where-Object { $_.Count -gt 2000 } | Select-Object Name, Count

I ran a test at my organization listing email accounts that send more than 2 emails per 24 hours.
