TechRepublic member Ian.cardy recently posted an inquiry in the TechRepublic Technical Q&A. A desktop user has an e-mail problem that Ian.cardy just can’t figure out, even with help from Microsoft. If you supply the solution to this problem, you could be awarded 400 TechPoints for your trouble.

Why does this address get dropped?
TechRepublic member Ian.cardy posted the following question in the Support Republic’s Messaging/E-mail section of the Technical Q&A:

“I have a user who has an interesting e-mail problem. When he replies to all on some external messages and adds an internal e-mail address, all recipients receive the e-mail except for the external addresses. If you look at the e-mail that was sent, you find that the external e-mail addresses have been dropped.

“I have logged in to his mailbox from several different PCs, and the problem still occurs. Microsoft suggested that I export all his e-mail, delete his mailbox, and recreate and import all of the mail back into the mailbox. This seems to be a common MS solution.

“However, after following these directions, the problem still occurs. It doesn’t appear to be one particular external address that is affected. Instead, it seems to be at random. The user’s contacts have been deleted and re-created to no avail, as the problem still exists.

“Please help, as Microsoft doesn’t seem to be able.”
