does not include all the network users (email recipients). In this case configure GFI MailEssentials to
use LDAP lookups.

internal Active Directory because of Firewall settings. Use LDAP lookups to connect to the internal
Active Directory of your network and ensure to enable default port 389 on your Firewall.
