If you are looking for the count of emails to a distribution list, you’ll want to narrow the search down to a specfic eventid. The above code will report back with a number much higher than is correct because the Tracking Log has entries for each step in the mail flow process (e.g. TRANSFER, SEND, DELIVER). A better solution would be the follow:

Get-MessageTrackingLog -start “08/01/2015 12:00:00” -End “09/01/2015 12:00:00” -Recipients “imatthews@arcis.com” -ResultSize 99999 | Where EventId -eq ‘DELIVER’ | Measure-Object
