What is mtaTransmittedMessages?
This counter tracks the total number of messages the mail transfer agent has transmitted since it was last initialized. Comparing this figure against mtaReceivedMessages lets an admin confirm the MTA is actually forwarding what it takes in rather than silently dropping mail. A large and growing gap between received and transmitted counts would indicate messages piling up undelivered.
