Question

Undeliverable Email #5.1.1 only when sending a meeting request to a user

Asked by: delcor1

I have a user (and everyone else in the office) when sending a meeting request to "Dave". The user is an active account, but somewhere it is linked to the John Doe account that is no longer in the company and it has been happening for years from what I hear. When sending a regular email to "Dave" there is not error or bounceback, just when sending a meeting request. I have looked in a couple other users Outlook under Delagates, but no luck.

/O=domain/OU=FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE GROUP/CN=RECIPIENTS/CN=John.Doe on 7/21/2008 10:34 AM
            The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to.  Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address.
            <mail.domain.org #5.1.1>

I have checked:

1. I could not find his account in AD.
2. I checked the active recipient's forwarding and it is not forwarding anywhere.

Thanks

Can you do a search at the top level of the domain in AD for the primary email account that was in use by John.Doe?

 

by: delcor1Posted on 2008-07-22 at 08:43:10ID: 22060613

I clicked the domain.local and right-clicked and chose find. I typed in the questionable account but nothing was found...

Are you using any applications such as VNC to remotely administer the server as they can some times NOT display the contents of the "Forward Email" section of the AD USer Properties.

 

by: delcor1Posted on 2008-07-22 at 08:54:35ID: 22060729

There is VNC installed, but I am using remote desktop to connect and can see that for John.Doe there is not forwarding set...when people send him a regular email, there is no error or bounceback, it is just when they send him a meeing request in Outlook and it isn't a few users, its everyone.

Is there Mail Forwarding on "Dave" as that is the account in question?

 

by: delcor1Posted on 2008-07-22 at 09:01:24ID: 22060800

Under "dave's" account there is no forwarding enabled.

 

by: BBRazzPosted on 2008-07-22 at 09:10:16ID: 22060886

You need to verify old delegates in Dave's mailbox by going to Tools -> Options -> Delegates. Remove old John.

This is because of option Delegates receives copy of meeting-related mails sent to me is ticked with John's id in Delegates.

If you can't see any delegates then you have another option to delete delegates rule with MFCMapi.

- Open Dave's Mailbox with MFCMapi where Dave's outlook profile configured in online mode (not Cache mode)

- Double click the Mailbox of Dave to open.

- Expand Root Container -> Top of the information store -> Inbox folder

- Right-click the "Inbox" folder, and then click "Display Rules Table".

- You can see all rules configured in mailbox.

- Delete the Delegate Rule with "PR_RULE_PROVIDER" column property shows "Schedule+EMS Interface". (this is the same option which you can set with GUI Delegation "Delegates receives copy of meeting-related mails sent to me" but stale copy is still in mailbox.)
