Ticket 2 — Distribution Group Membership

User

James Anderson — Sales Representative

Issue

"I'm not receiving emails sent to the Sales Team distribution group. Please check whether I have access to the group."

Investigation

The Sales Team distribution group was checked to establish the expected membership and mail-delivery configuration.

James Anderson was initially a member of the group.

Sales Team Distribution Group Baseline

Evidence: Sales Team distribution group showing the baseline membership.

James's membership was then removed as a controlled change to reproduce the reported access and delivery problem.

Sales Team James Membership Removed

Evidence: James Anderson's membership removed from the Sales Team distribution group.

A test message was sent to the Sales Team distribution address to verify the resulting delivery behavior.

Sales Team Distribution Delivery Test

Evidence: Distribution-group delivery test following the membership change.

Diagnosis

The issue was traced to James Anderson no longer being a member of the Sales Team distribution group.

The membership configuration was reviewed to confirm the missing group membership.

Sales Team Membership Diagnostic

Evidence: Diagnostic review of the Sales Team distribution-group membership.

Resolution

James Anderson's membership in the Sales Team distribution group was restored.

A new test message was then sent to the group to verify that delivery was restored.

Sales Team Distribution Delivery Restored

Evidence: Distribution-group delivery successfully tested after James's membership was restored.

Verification

The restored membership and subsequent delivery test confirmed that the corrective action resolved the issue.

Technician Resolution

Investigated James Anderson's missing emails from the Sales Team distribution group and identified that his group membership had been removed. Restored his membership and verified successful delivery through a new distribution-group email test.
