Re: message submitted to categorizer

It's an expansion problem. What kind of distribution group is it? Domain?
A domain distribution group requires an expansion server in the domain the
group exists. If for what ever reason the group cannot be expanded (the
expansion server cannot be contacted or the call fails for any reason) a
null group is returned :-(. That's the same as sending a message to a DL
with no members; it disappears at the categorizer with no error or warning.

The best practice is to make your distribution groups universal groups. The
membership of universal groups is stored in the GC partition on every GC.
You avoid potential issues with expansion servers.

Hi NG,

I wanted to sent a mail to a distribution list. The members of this list
are located on another exchange server exept one. We are on the same
server.

This message was directly submitted to the categorizer.
I sent the same message with myself in CC and I received the mail.

I checked our Antivirus program and this mail was not blocked.
The DL has only 60 members, so the max. number of recipients (64000) was
not reached.
It was only a text mail, so no problem with the mail size.

I sent the mail to all users from the DL by choosing them from the global
addressbook and they all received the mail.

OS: Windows 2k SP4 with Exchange 2k SP3

Any ideas what kind of problem this is?

Thanks in advance
Dirk
