How can I verify and check if my Exchange Servers are still sending emails to the external world?

Because from this page I cannot see any list of servers: https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com/#/reports/onpremunpatchedserverdetails

    Hi,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    You can confirm whether the mails are sent to the outside by checking the mail flow logs of Exchange Server. The specific path is as follows:

    D:\Exchange Server 2016\TransportRoles\Logs\Hub\ProtocolLog\SmtpSend

    D:\Exchange Server 2016\TransportRoles\Logs\FrontEnd\ProtocolLog\SmtpSend

    D:\Exchange Server 2016\TransportRoles\Logs\FrontEnd\ProtocolLog\SmtpReceive

    D:\Exchange Server 2016\TransportRoles\Logs\MessageTracking And IIS log

    Please feel free to contact me for any updates.And if this helps,don't forget to mark it as an answer.
