The Reporting facility of MailRules allows you to view the activities of your Outbound Rules. To find out what your Outbound Rules have been doing, select an Outbound Rule from the Outbound Rule menu, then click Edit. Then click Reporting.
The message "No history has been logged for this rule. No reporting is currently available" appeared: What does this mean?
Whenever an Outbound Rule is sent, MailRules will log the activities that are performed. MailRules Standard edition will provide a simple set of statistics, whereas MailRules Professional edition provides full text description of all actions.
When you have selected the Reporting tab, you will be asked to enter a date range for your report. By default, this will be set to the earliest date that the rule was dispatched through to the most recent. Amend the date range as you require, then click the Go button and your report will be generated.
Under the Summary tab, you will see these statistics:

Activations |
The total number of times that the Rule has attempted to Send e-mail. |
Complete Sends |

Application Failures |
If you are running applications as part of your Outbound Rule, this figure will tell you if there have been failures. If you have tested your application with the Test button, any failure is most likely caused by using the file attachments as part of the command - review the logs to establish what the problem is and take corrective action. |
