    The tracking logs are very verbose, so you're not alone that it's a lot of information to parse. What you'll want to look for or filter by is the event type (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/Exchange/mail-flow/transport-logs/message-tracking#event-types-in-the-message-tracking-log).

     

    For scenario 1, RECEIVE will be the event for Exchange receiving the message, and DELIVER will be the event for delivery to your user's mailbox.

    For scenario 2, SEND will indicate the message was sent out of the Exchange server.

    For identifying failures, there are multiple different event types to consider (see link above).

     

    If you just want to see certain events, you can add a filter of -EventId and then the event name in quotes to your Get-MessageTrackingLog search.

     

    Hope this helps!
