Re: Nested Security Groups in Mail enabled security groups

nested groups work in any version of Exchange...but a group must be
mail-enabled for its members to receive email sent to it, whether it's
nested or not...this is by design, not a bug...and if you choose to select
"from authenticated users only", any email sent to that group from someone
outside your org will bounce...that setting is intended to set groups to
only accept email from internal users...
