Re: message submitted to categorizer

I asked my colleagues to change all DL from global to universal. Normally
all DLs ar euniversal (let's say 99%)
And thanks for your explanations.

If the categorizer can't contact a GC to get the membership of a universal
group, you get a retryable error (6004) and it tries again later. If the
expansion server for a domain group cannot be contacted a null set is
returned and the message dies silently at the categorizer. The best
practice is to make them universal groups.

Hi John,

It is a global distribution group. But I am wondering, because there is
no expansion server selected. I checked the Exchange Advanced Tab and
there is standard (all Servers in the Organization).
So normally every Exchange Server should be able to find all the DL
members, or not?

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
