XCON: Attributes Required to Route Messages through the Categorizer

I found the KB below id extremely useful and decided to post here, I have included original link below as well

If any of these attributes are incorrect, it causes the message to stay in the categorizer and no Event IDs are created. If you track the message, it will be in the categorizer or will generate a non-delivery report (NDR) depending on what attribute is missing.



To check these attributes on the user, you must use LDP or ADSI Edit to generate a raw dump of the user. The following an example of a user dump with all attributes

Attributes

Legacyexchangedn

Homemdb

Homemta

mailNickname

proxyAddresses

msExchHomeServerName

msExchMailboxSecurityDescriptor

msExchMailboxGuid

Use Adsiedit.msc
