SYMPTOMS
When Filtering is enabled in Exchange 2000, some messages may be unexpectedly filtered. As a result, these messages may not delivered. This behavior occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * The All message with Blank sender Filtering option is selected. To view this option, start Exchange System Manager, and then expand Global Settings. Right-click Message Delivery, click Properties, and then click the Filtering tab.
 * The incoming SMTP message contains extended characters in the RFC822 sender display name.

If you select the Archive filtered messages option on the Filtering tab, you can check what messages are filtered. These messages appear in the Program files\Exchsrvr\Mailroot\Vsi 1\Filter folder.
