Traveler e-mail messages and device types

'ning all,

Is it possible to inspect a message in a server's mailjrn.nsf and determine whether it came from a device connected to a Traveler server and, more importantly, which mobile device sent the message?

The 'connected to a Traveler server' part I can work out, but it's the 'which mobile device' that has me stumped - from what I can see so far, there is no way of doing so. Is there a configuration setting on the Traveler server be enabled that allows the device name/type sending the message to be stored somewhere in the message properties?

 

Example:

triffus.maximus@mycompany.com has a blackberry device and a Verse-enabled iPad. I want to work out how many messages he's sent using the blackberry and how many messages he's sent using the iPad.

 

Any ideas?

Regards,

$Mailer

Check out the $Mailer field on the email.  Should give you what you need.

Shows the device for me.

Must be cos mine shows the device name and OS and I'm not using BES, just straight to Traveler.

$Mailer was one of the first fields I went for ...

... but was disappointed to see just "IBM Traveler 9.0.1.8 Build 201510070111_20" and nothing else - this may or may not have something to do with the device management being done by a BES server rather than directly to Traveler, I'm not sure (another team manages the mobile device setup).

More Info

I did some messing about with BES12 and the $Mailer field does have the Traveler server version and device info.  I was using a Blackberry device though.

Also tried AirWatch, using the native email app and Boxer the Traveler server version and device info present.

Hmmm ... interesting

That's fine - with the BES12/Traveler combination, at least the blackberry devices can be identified. Maybe it's something in the way the BES12/Traveler setup here that's suppressing it for some reason - any ideas where I might start looking?

Thanks for your feedback thus far - very helpful.

Could be the Traveler server version

I don't see it being a BES issue as it just acts as a proxy for the ActiveSync connection.  It could be that the Traveler server version is significant and more details were added to the $Mailer field in later versions.  I'm using IBM Traveler 9.0.1.14 Build 201609011443_40.

 

Maybe try upgrading and seeing if you get the additional info?

IBM Traveler 9.0.1.8 Build 201510070111_20 here

... so it could well be something in the later version that enables it. I'll pass the information on.

 

Thanks
