Microsoft Mail & SMTP - strange problem

We are using Microsoft Mail version 2.1, and the SMTP gateway option.
This setup has been working fine for over a year, but we are now 
experiencing some very wierd behavior.

Our environment is made up of PCs and Sun workstations, all running TCP/IP.

PC mail users are able to send mail to other PC users with no problems.

PC mail users are also able to send mail to our Unix systems with no problems.

Unix mail users can send mail amongst themselves, with no problems.

Unix mail users (or any mail user outside of the Microsoft Mail environment)
CAN'T send mail to PC mail users.  

The strange part is that the mail acts like it is being delivered just fine. It 
never bounces back to the sender, but it never shows up in the PC mail user's 
mailbox either.

Here is some output that I captured from the smtpgateway console, with all the
information options turned on.

16:57:03 - Incoming SMTP connection from [192.138.254.1] detected
[tx] 220 All set, fire away
[rx] HELO sun3.daisynet
[tx] 250 Hi there, pleased to meet you
[rx] MAIL From:<root@sun3>
16:57:03 - Translating remote address: "root@sun3"
16:57:03 - Non-local address left unmapped
[tx] 250 Sender OK
[rx] RCPT To:<test@smtpgate>
16:57:03 - Translating local address: "test@smtpgate"
16:57:03 - Mapped to "CSI:isinet/isilocalpo/test"
[tx] 250 Recipient OK
[rx] DATA
[tx] 354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
[rx] ...message body...
[tx] 250
16:57:04 - Sending message to Courier
[rx] QUIT
[tx] 221 See you later
16:57:17 - SMTP connection closed



This looks normal to me. Am I wrong?


Also, where does the actual message get stored in the MS Mail directory,i.e. which of these
directories stores the message data?

att/		glb/		key/		mem/		tpl/
display.cfg	grp/		log/		nme/		usr/
folders/	hlp/		mai/		p1/			xtn/
inf/		mbg/		smtp/



The manuals have not been very useful at all for trying to trouble-shoot this
problem.



Any info on the questions above would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Saul
