Re: Some email not being delivered

I appreciate your input on this matter. I tried Ikakura and can't seem to get
it to work properly. Their instructions are very confusing as I am a newbie
to listserv.

Is there anyting I can do in exchange to get a distribution list to send a
separate message to each recipient?

I appreciate your input on this. But why would I need a list server when I
already have Exchange setup to do all this? I read through the
documentation
in Ikakura and it describes exactly what I already have set up with public
folders and moderators.

What advantage would a list server give me and how would that fix my
problem
with certain pacbell recipients not getting distribution list emails?

Yeah, that's a problem and something that Exchange doesn't do
particularly
well. What you really need is a list server. Here are some options:
Build your own:

Exchange-based products:

http://www.ikakura.com/

http://www.gfi.com/mes/ (More than just a list server)

Non-Exchange-based but worthy of consideration:

I see what you're saying, but here's the issue:

We are a school and use public folders for moderated email distribution
lists. So, when someone send an email to 1 of our distribution lists,
it
gets
approved by a moderator and, once approved, gets forwarded to everyone
in
that distribution list. We have 400 parents in our all-school
distribution
list. Most of the parents including most pacbell recipients, get the
email.
Only a select few don't. This is the problem i'm trying to work out. I
can't
change the amount of recipients in our distribution list.

Let me add that sending an e-mail with 400 recipients is kind of rude
because the message header alone will make the message pretty large.
I
suggest you consider using BCC for these.

I have 400 recipients being addressed, but only 40 of them are
pacbell
and
sbcglobal recipients.

As a pacbell.net (SBC Global) user I do know that there's a limit

the
number of recipients in a header that their SMTP servers will
support.
How
many recipients are being addressed at once?

I send out an email to my distribution list and a few of the
recipients
who
have SBCGlobal and Pacbell email accounts do not recieve the
emails.
However,
some sbcglobal and pacbell recipients do.

On the other hand, the few who are not recieving distribution
list
emails
CAN recieve emails if they are sent directly to that user (not
through
the
distribution list).

My distribution list has 400 recipients of various ISP domains.
How
can
I
track the problem down? Talking to pabell/sbc/AT&T is useless as
they
won't
do anyting to help me fix the problem.

Is the issue on my end?
