Long shot, but what are they running for anti-virus on the
Exchange servers? There were "unexpected behaviors" with server-side MAPI-based
products under heavy load. That lead to Sybari's ESE shim and then later the
VSAPI approach.

all latest patches for both.
DCs are Windows 2000 with all latest patches.
Obviously no QB DLs since on E2K.
Basically problem is that some people on the DL got a
message the first time something was sent but when the very important followup
was sent in a known time span (known that is to the users), they didn't get
that. No change in status of the users who didn't receive the second message. No
NDRs. No badmail. No log hits in the blocking software. No obvious errors
anywhere. Tracking logs confirm the known users didn't get sent the
message. Now trying to compare the several thousand users in the DL to who is in
the tracking logs as having received the message to get an accurate
picture of who all didn't receive the message.
My main question is has anyone ever really took the time to
verify that Exchange is actually sending messages to everyone on a large DL
accurately and consistently? People tend to be pretty forgiving in terms of
email delivery unless they expect something. Something going to a DL is not
usually expected unless it is a followup to something else that someone is
watching for. If someone doesn't get something that is a following, what is the
method they will usually take to track it down? They won't, it is a pain in the
butt to call the help desk, for something so simple they will ask their friend
or ask the poster to resend that is if they even know something was sent at
all.

Can you give us some insight in to the problem and what you know so far? Versions of Exchange and AD are also of interest….

Seems like you're on the right track. With the message ID and tracking logs, you can back out all of the mailboxes that got the message. But you already knew that, and probably have let loose a perl script on the logs. I suppose there may be a way to get a message into a mailbox without having events logged in the tracking logs, but I can't remember ever seeing that as long as logging was enabled.
