Multiple rapid email update events

Brass Contributor

Upon review logs today I came across one user who had 18+ update message events all within seconds of each other, some places 2 or 3 in a second.  The other strange thing is the IP shows as ::1 and it occurred at 5:29am in my local timezone (log shows the Zulu time).  No way a human can update this many emails that quickly plus the ClientInfoString says Client=REST;

 

 What could this be?  Is it a mail rule running at a set time?

Hi @lfk73 ,

 

This should be some message update requests from the client (Outlook I assume) where some property was updated. In your case it's a calendar event, maybe because someone accepted or changed the answer.

 

Best regards

@lfk73 Did you ever get any addition information on what the "update" operation means?
