CRM 2011 E-mail Router Configuration Issue RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have a very specific issue that I have not been able to resolve related to e-mail and CRM 2011.

    I have a CRM 2011 on-premise instance.  All of the users associated with that instance have e-mail addresses associated with a specific domain (ex. "company.com").  I have setup the e-mail router to send out e-mails for them.  Sometimes e-mails are sent out manually, sometimes e-mails are sent out automatically (prompted by workflows).  Also, I have configured individual users to allow e-mails to be sent on their behalf (configured in the personal options "E-mail" tab).

    As it stands right now, some e-mails are being sent from CRM via the e-mail router, but not all are being sent.  Those which are not being sent out are specifically those which are sent on behalf of a CRM user with an "example.com" e-mail address to another CRM user with an "example.com" e-mail address.  In other words, to be explicitly clear:

    • Emails sent from an "example.com" e-mail address user to an "example.com" e-mail address CRM user ARE FAILING TO SEND.
    • Emails sent from an "example.com" e-mail address user to a non-"example.com" e-mail address CRM user ARE SENDING.
    • Emails sent from a non-"example.com" e-mail address user to an "example.com" e-mail address CRM user ARE SENDING.
    • Emails sent from a non-"example.com" e-mail address user to a non-"example.com" e-mail address CRM user ARE SENDING.

    By failing to send, I specifically mean that the e-mails ultimately have a status of "Sent", but they never end up in the user's inbox.  In other words, they are sent (in CRM) but not sent (in reality)--only in the one scenario outlined above.  What is the most likely source of the problem?  What tools can I use to further diagnose my problem?  How do I fix the problem?

    PS - The Exchange 2010 spam filter associated with the "example.com" domain is not blocking anything, as far as I can see (I already looked).
