Symptom
If you use Outlook (connected to Microsoft Exchange Server) to deliver your emails from Service Accent Notifications, you may find your emails do not get sent but remain in your Drafts folder.


Cause
If you configure a group in Exchange Server and then use that group email address as the Send emails from value in Notifications | Settings, Exchange Server may refuse to send emails.

For example, if you have a group called support in the domain company.com, the group's email address will be support@company.com. If you then specify support@company.comas the Send emails from value, Exchange Server may reject these emails.


Solution
Create a contact using the desired email address and link that to the group (you may need to change the group's name).
