Is there a limit to the amount of nesting which can be carried out on
Universal Security Groups?

We have a single domain (mix of Windows 2003 and 2000 servers) with
Exchange 2003 and a number of nested groups but we've just discovered a
problem - mail sent to some of the lists is not reaching all the members
of the list.

Some detail:

Top level list: Technology_Faculty

This comprises: Technology_Teaching, Technology_Support,
Technology_Admin, Technology_Technicians

Each of those groups is split further; eg:
Technology_Teaching contains: School_Auto_Engineering,
School_Building_Crafts, School_Mech_Engineering etc

The schools then split eg:
School_Auto_Engineering: Curriculum_Body_Paint, Curriculum_Mechanical

and users are added to the lowest level groups.

Email sent to the Technology_faculty group doesn't get delivered to all
the people - as far as I can tell (by looking at the Exchange log) it
misses completely the group called "technology_teaching"

In total, there are only about 200 people across all the sub-groups.

If this is "working as designed" then is there a way round it? If it's
broken, then suggestions, please, for fixing it!
