SYMPTOMS

When you track an email message by using the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 client for Microsoft Office Outlook in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, the messageid attribute of the email message is set to a GUID instead of to a valid Microsoft Exchange messageid. Therefore, you cannot send the email message out of the Exchange organization if the messageid verification is used.
