Mailbox Delegation
		
	What is the best way or tool to use to determine a mailbox delegate membership(s )to other mailboxes?  I have an old user mailbox who keeps sending NDRs when a user send's a message to a dlist.  We have removed the user mailbox on all dlist so
 this mailbox is a delegate to someone else's mailbox.  Thanks in adavnce!

Delegates are usually found in the publicDelegates and
publicDelegatesBL properties of mailbox-enabled users. But it's very
common to find that they aren't there, yet the mailbox may show them
as a delegate. If the mailbox *doesn't* show any delegates it's still
possible that there's a rule in the mailbox that still acting as if
the *is* a delegate. In other words, figuring out where the problem
lies is not easy.
 
Glen Scales has a Powershell script that uses the EWS Managed API to
ADD delegates to a mailbox here:

It probably wouldn't be convert that to look for those permission
instead of setting them.
 
Whatever way you address it, digging this stuff out of the AD is a lot
easier than spelunking in mailboxes.
