SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to reply to a message on a shared mailbox to which you have been given Reviewer permissions, but not "Send on Behalf of" permissions in Microsoft Outlook, a reply form opens with the From field pre-populated. When you click Send, you receive the following error message:

You do not have the permission to send the message on behalf of the specified user.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design.



WORKAROUND
There are two workarounds for this problem:
 * Request your Exchange Server administrator to give you "Send On Behalf Of" permissions on the shared mailbox.
 * When the reply form opens, delete name or names in the pre-populated From field, and then click Send.
