This has been a nagging issue for a long time. I have not been able to send mail to certain groups - messages would just get stuck in the Retry Queue "Awaiting Directory Lookup". This was also coincidental with IIS memory leak. I can't believe how simple the cause of the problem is!
The groups that experience problems are mail-enabled global security groups AND some members of the group are not mail-enabled. That's all. I have been looking at all other things trying to solve the problem. I thought that for some reason there was a duplication of an SMTP address somewhere (actually that used to be another bug in earlier version of Exchange 2000) or maybe the LegacyExchangeDN was screwed up... I can't believe it did not occur to me to check all the group's members to see if any of them were somehow different. Now we do have a reason for having such mixed groups for customer provisioning methods.
