Nested Security Groups in Mail enabled security groups



I don't know if this is a bug or maybe I am doing something wrong. Here is
the situation: Windows 2003 native domain with Windows 2003 native forest,
Exchange server 2003 SP1. I create a global security group called group1 and
put users with email adresses in it and mail enable it. When I send emails
to group1 all users get the message. I create another group called group2
and add other users with email to it. I then put group2 in group1 and send
an email to group1. Only people in group1 get the email, no one in group2
gets it.

hummm.... I guess nested grouping does not work with Exchange. So I try
something else. I mail enable group2 and send email to group1. Everyone in
group1 and group2 get the message. I then try something else, I remove email
address on group2 and try sending an email to group1 it works until the
recipient update service runs.

I don't want to have a bunch of groups in my GAL, the only work arround is
to mail enable all my groups and hide them in Exchange. The problem with
that is that when I choose to receive mail from authenticated users only on
the nested groups the email bounces from outside.

I would like the feature to work because my AD is setup like the organigram.
Every position is a security group, every sub departement is a security
group and every department is a security group and all of the groups are
nested into each other so it easier to manage security and employee movement.

Any one encouter this before or is this feature not supported?
Thanks for your replies.
