Tracking logs are located in \Exchsrvr\Tracking.log. Each daily log is
named by the date it was created (yyyymmdd.log format). The filename date,
like all times in the tracking log, is in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The
following table defines the fields in the tracking logs:

that transported the message.
