First off...all Exchange servers are Exchange 5.5, SP4 on Win2k, SP4. Using OL2k, SP2 for a client. This is a long post, in order to include all info and get the greatest number of responses.
Ok...I have a really weird problem and I'm totally baffled. Where do I start? I'll start where I first noticed the problem. 1. I first noticed my problem on this list. February 26th @ approximately 11:46am, was the last e-mail I received from the list, when sending from my Outlook client. I have been able to receive two additional posts to this list, sent on my behalf from the web interface (3/11/2004 & 4/15/2004). I get the responses to my posts (at least I think I do), so I know that e-mails I send are making it to the list...I just never receive them. 2. Our corporate e-mail server is set up so that if someone sends me an e-mail at my corporate account, the mail system sees the CR, rewrites the headers and forwards it on to my e-mail account here. I can send e-mail (HTML / RTF / Plain) from both my Charter account and my Yahoo! Account to my corporate account and it always gets delivered...although it always gets delivered in Plain Text format. If I send from those same accounts to the local mailbox, it always shows up in whatever format I sent it in...so I'm getting e-mail from outside. 3. I sent six e-mails to my Corporate e-mail account. Three were from another internal account, in all three formats. The other three were from my personal account, in all three formats. The only one of the six that got delivered, was from the other account in Plain Text format. 4. Here's where it gets even weirder. I can monitor the "Inbound Awaiting Delivery" queue from the Exchange Admin console and see all three messages hit the queue. They all three show my Display Name as the originator...and yet after about 30 seconds of sitting in this queue, they just vaporize. I have no idea where they are going. 5. What have I done to troubleshoot to this point? I have sent to my corporate address from every account I have, in every format possible. The only ones to make it through are those sent in PTF and not from my local account. I have deleted ALL rules from my mailbox. I don't have a .pst file setup in my profile. The blocklist on the IMS contains no references to this domain, Corporate domain or any of my accounts, internal or external. The only IP addys in the blocklist are those of known and verified spammers. I have checked the server logs of the IMS. I get this error: Event Type: Information Event Source: MSExchangeIS Private Event Category: Transfer Out Of Gateway Event ID: 2018 Date: 5/13/2004 Time: 12:33:21 PM User: N/A Computer: MAIL Description: The generation of a delivery report or a non-delivery report for gateway /o=HANFORD/ou=ERC/cn=Configuration/cn=Connections/cn=Internet Mail Connector (MAIL) has failed due to error 0x80004002. I've Googled and searched the MSKB. Everything I can find points to either a DLL/DLL registry setting or some interface...but I can't figure out which one. Nothing seems to match up with my problem. Nothing has been changed on this server, since SP4 was put on it...last year? So I know e-mail is going out, getting to Corporate, getting past our Linux mail relayer to the IMS and then it disappears...I never receive an NDR (which leads me to believe it's getting vaporized as a result of the blocklist). I would like to turn up the Diagnostic Logging on the IMS, but it only has ~350mb free and I don't want to crash it. Which category would I crank up, to determine where mail is going after hitting the inbound delivery queue? Message Transfer, SMTP Interface Events, or Internal Processing...or all three?
