Also I see this in the Application Event log every time I force a retry on the stuck 
"Awaiting Directory Lookup" queue (I do have plenty of disk space):

Subject: RE: I just discovered a bug in Exchange 2000


this is very elusive.

I can't reproduce this *under normal cirumstances*, i.e. create a user account with 
mailbox, create another user account without a mailbox, create a group, mail-enabled 
it, add both user accounts to the group, send a test message to the group.


The groups that do not work are built like this:
- each customer has a separate OU
- inside the customer OU there are all the user accounts and group accounts for the 
customer.
- each customer has a global security group AllUsers@[customer.com] and every 
customer's user account is automatically added to the group. The group is mail-enabled.
- Each customer has an account called Service 
(UserPrincipalName=Service@[customer.com]), Service is also a member of 
AllUsers@[customer.com] group. Service account does not have a mailbox.
- Messages sent to AllUsers@[customer.com] get stuck in "Awaiting Directory Lookup" 
queue.
- If I create a mailbox for Service, messages flow normally. If I delete the mailbox, 
messages get stuck again.

We have a few thousand customers, so there are a few thousand groups called 
AllUsers@[customer.com], and each group has its own Service user as a member.
I wonder if the categorizer runs out of steam trying to resolve the correct Service 
without a mailbox out of thousands. Although the UPN clearly states which one is 
which...
