Missing emails
I have a situation where, on an intermittent basis, emails are not being delivered to individual mailboxes. I check my SPAM filter and run an Exchange delivery report and all devices state that the mail was delivered. I am running Exchange 2016 and and Outlook 2016 clients. Any ideas?

Yeah, I ran the message tracker and it says the message was delivered. On line 1 what does start xxx and end xxx stand for?
I'm sorry that's the sending and recipient email addresses
Did you check the junk email folder. Are they getting marked as junk.
Do the users have any inbox rules or any rules which might be stopping these emails.
Take one message which was shows as delivered in message tracking log, however it is not in the mailbox but shows as delivered.
On this one message check the message ID and verify OR update the details of the message ID in here removing any sensitive information.
If the message shows delivered to store drv and has hit the exchange server then it might be in the mailbox.
Check if you do not have any antispam configured on your exchange server, because you already are using a spam filter so its like double scanning of emails.

To get the list of blocked email addresses, run the command:
Get-SenderFilterConfig |fl BlockedSenders,BlockedDoma

This is a case of the sender having sent emails successfully prior to the "missing email" and after the "missing email". The mail is not in the junk box, it appears in the SPAM filter as delivered and the Exchange log tracker flags it as delivered. It was destined for three recipients and none of them received the email.
If the message got past the spam gateway (not SPAM), then the other possibility is it got caught in some sort of filter. Check in the Outlook web client to see if it is there.
Also if they have conversation grouping turned on, turn that off as a test.
