Hello, All of the queues are empty. The message histories stop and Message submitted to Categorizer. Initially mail was received ok. I did not have the tracking logs on at that point but the messages ended up in the Users's mailbox. I turned tracking on because the messages stop flowing. Any ideas on this appreciated. Thanks Bill -----Original Message----- From: Periyasamy, Raj [mailto:Raj.Periyasamy@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 9:31 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Mail Stopping at the Message Submitted to Categorizer http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello William, If the message is reaching the categorizer and is not reaching the mailbox, it could be related to directory look up failure or the routing engine is not doing what it is supposed to do. Have you looked at all the queues under the SMTP protocol. If not, first verify all the queues and check if messages are pending in a queue, and tell us which queue is pending. Also, are you able to send outgoing messages? One way to test your SMTP mail routing is as follows, C:\>telnet exchangeserverIP 25 Telnet>helo <cr> Telnet> mail from:youremail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx rcpt Telnet>to:youremail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Telnet>data <cr> Telnet> test test test <cr> Telnet> test test test <cr> Telnet>. <cr> See if you received the test mail from the telnet session.

I have configured the POP connector to download mails from my ISP. I have added the domain name for the external email domain to the Recipient Policy so that I can set the default Sender address to the real mail domain name. For example Username: foo Internal Domain Name: mycompany.local External Domain Name: mycompany.com Mail sent to foo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is picked up by POP connector and dropped into foo's mailbox. When replying the reply to address is set to foo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The recipient policy contains mycompany.local and mycompany.com with mycompany.com configured as the default address. For some reason (that may have nothing to do with this setup) when mail is received it gets as far as SMTP: Message Submitted to the Categorizer. It never moves on to the users mailbox. What might cause this to happen? Thanks for any insight.
