Give permission to the user for distribution group (SBS 2003)

Issue description:
==============

I understand that you want to give the send on behalf permission to the
user for distribution group.

Analyzing and suggestion:
===============
By default, a normal user account cannot "Send As" or "Send on behalf of"
on a distribution list even if it is the member of the distribution list.
However, the Administrator account has "Full control" permission on the
distribution list, so the administrator account has the Send As permission.

You can refer to the following method to grant the proper permission:

To grant "Send As" permissions:
---------------------------------
1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. Click View tool button and check Advanced Features.
3. Right click on Distribution List and then Properties.
4. On the Security tab, click Add.
5. Add the user and grant with "Send As" permission.
6. Click OK.

To grant "Send on behalf" permissions:
--------------------------------------------------------
1. In ADUC, open the Properties of the DL.
2. Click the Exchange General tab, and then click Delivery Options.
3. Under Send on behalf, click Add.
4. Type the name of the DelegateUser, click Check Names to verify the name,
and then click OK.
5. Click OK, and then click OK.
6. Quit Active Directory Users and Computers.

For more information, you can look into the following article:

results, I am glad to be of assistance.
