What is mtaReceivedVolume?
This counter reports, in kilo-octets, the cumulative data volume of messages the mail transfer agent has received since initialization. Admins use it alongside message counts to estimate average message size and plan bandwidth or storage capacity. A sharp rise in this counter without a matching rise in mtaReceivedMessages would suggest unusually large attachments are coming through.
