I have a co-worker complaining about failed delivery of important email sent to a 
group of about 10
in-house managers. He has been exchanging mail with them on one topic using standard 
"Reply to All".
He says an important meeting will be disrupted or cancelled because of this email 
problem. He gave
me the exact mailing time and the subject line. He also said he tried to send a second 
time today
and delivery failed again (silently). I looked in the logs and found normal entries 
where his
Outlook checks the server for mail at regular intervals, but no large mailing. There 
is also nothing
like this in our spam filters. (This happened once before about a week ago, but in 
that case I did
find a record of the group mailing being successfully delivered, but was unable to 
explain why the
managers would not have received the message within a normal time frame.) Not only is 
he frustrated,
but he has suggested to some upper managers that our mail server may be broken. Of 
course if it was,
I'd have more than just one person with this problem. This user is an experienced 
email user and has
not received any error messages. We're running IMail 8 on NT4 with all current service 
packs,
patches, etc. Any tips on what might be happening to his group mail?
