SYMPTOMS
When you send a meeting request, you may receive a non-delivery report (NDR) for a recipient who was not invited to the meeting that is similar to the following:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject:Test Message

Sent:2/22/2000 3:40 PM

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

NDR on 2/22/2000 3:40 PM

The message was undeliverable because the recipient postal address was not known at this address.



CAUSE
This problem can occur if the recipient of the meeting request has a damaged delegate rule or is using a delegate rule that points to a mailbox that has been deleted.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, remove the delegate permissions:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) Click the Delegates tab.
 * 3) Click the entry for the user who is no longer in the global address list, and then click Remove.
 * 4) Click OK.



MORE INFORMATION
When you set up delegate permissions, Outlook creates a hidden rule in the Inbox that automatically forwards meeting requests to the delegate. When the delegate mailbox is removed from the global address list, the delegate rule is not automatically updated.
