    - CRM-Exchange E-mail Router - Track All Messages Is there a way to configure the CRM environment to use the CRM Router for incoming email, but only capture email that matches an account or contact in the CRM database? Right now I have it setup so that it "Tracks All" and all the incoming garbage email gets sent to the CRM database for my users. Most of it is junk or just not related to the CRM. I need to be able to capture incoming mail that does not have a Token, but matches a contact or account in the CRM. Tag: Importing Sample Data into existing CRM 3.0 SBE setup Tag: 72898

    - CRM Direct Email - Erratic Behavior We are having difficulty with the direct email functionality of CRM. We are sending a direct email out to a group of contacts based on an advanced find looking for characteristics like what marketing lists the contacts belong to. Once we have made the selection, we choose a template, and click on send, sometimes only one or two people receive the emails out of a group of 60. Sometimes the emails appear in history, sometimes they don't, and this is not correlated with the contacts that actually received the email. Nothing shows up in the event logs, and the SMTP logs make it look like some of the emails are getting through, while some are not, again with no correlation to the history of the contacts. If we send a direct email to one of the contacts out of the group, it seems to go directly to them, they receive the email, and it shows up in the history of the contact record. As a possibly related issue, it appears that the undeliverable box in the CRM email account is storing all of the emails going through our system, whether they have any relationship through CRM or not (All emails appear to be getting stored in the undeliverable box, personal, work-related, everything). We are running server 2003 on the SQL server, the CRM server, and the Exchange server. Permissions appear to be set up correctly for all of the services. Thanks in advance for any help.

    - CRM-Exchange E-mail Router -- Undeliverable I am trying to setup a new installation of CRM 3.0 with the CRM-Exchange E-mail Router. The installation had no errors. I setup a standard user account and mailbox to work with the CRM Router. I then used the "Rules Wizard" to apply the forwarding rules to my two CRM user accounts. The forwarding is working, but the emails that are forwarded to the CRM Router mailbox are ending up in the "Undeliverable" folder and obviously not getting into the CRM database. Any guidence would be appreciated. Thank you. Bill Tag: Importing Sample Data into existing CRM 3.0 SBE setup Tag: 72842
