Exchange 2010 - Getting report on local internal email

Question

Hi,
I am trying t get one particular stat out of my Exchange 2010 server using Powershell and could use some help.  I simply want the total number of emails sent internally within my single exchange server. 
Below is the Powershell command I have tried.
get-messagetrackinglog -ResultSize unlimited -Start “05/14/2013 00:00:00″ -End “06/10/2013 23:59:00″ | where {$_.Sender -like “*@domain.com“} | where {$_.Recipients -like “*@domain.com“} > “C:\internalmail.txt
The internalmail.txt file is empty.  I have made a couple attempts to get this information from the messagetrackinglog, but haven't gotten any results.  I was able to get the total number of RECEIVED and SENT emails from and to external addresses,
but nothing internal.
Does the messagetrackinglog keep a record of internal emails within the Exchange server?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Terry

Your command should work, but there's no need for a double 'where{}' and using ">file.txt" makes a not so useful file:
get-messagetrackinglog -ResultSize unlimited -Start “06/10/2013 00:00:00" -End “06/10/2013 00:59:00" | where {$_.Sender -like “*@rotterdam.nl“ -AND $_.Recipients -like “*@rotterdam.nl“} > “C:\internalmail.txt"
Also, you did not specify a server, so you will have to run this command on a transportserver and it will only return results from that perticular server.
Try the following:
get-transportserver| get-messagetrackinglog -ResultSize unlimited -Start $(get-date).addhours(-1) -End $(get-date) | where {$_.Sender -like "*@org.nl" -AND $_.Recipients -like "*@org.nl"} | select EventId,Source,Sender,@{name="Recipient";expression={[system.String]::Join(";",$_.Recipients)}},MessageSubject| export-csv -noTypeInformation "C:\internalmail.txt"
you should be able to run it from any of you servers and it should get you the logs from all transport servers over the last hour. I've used $(get-date) here to see if it is an issue with your date format (it uses locale settings, an "issue" that
has been fixed in Exch 2010).

Optional
System.DateTime
This parameter returns message tracking log entries up to, but not including, the specified End date and time byusing the regional format of the
computer on which the cmdlet is run.
(you can expect an error on edge server query ... ignore these)
