How to track a message in Exchange 2010 when used as a relay and no mailbox is used

emailexchange-2010

We are using Exchange 2010 to relay messages out to the Internet, and there are no local mailboxes, or accepted domains configured.

Mailflow works correctly, and we have a custom routing agent.dll installed.

We need to track a message sent from domain1.com to microsoft.com using SMTP. Since neither of these domains exist as an accepted domain, how do I track a message with this criteria?

The message tracking website in OWA requires me to select a mailbox.

Within the Exchange Management Console there is an option for Toolbox. In the toolbox is a tool called Tracking Log Explorer. You can use this tool to search for messages at a finer granularity, and without selecting specific mailboxes, but based on email addresses, etc.
