Sending on behalf of mail-enabled folder > "You do not have permission to send to this recipient"

Hi all!

A customer of ours is having this problem:

* There's a mail-enabled Public Folder, e.g. "Test" test@xxxxxxxxxx

* User John (john@xxxxxxxxxx) has full access (including Send As)
permissions on folder Test and has been granted "Send on behalf"
privileges for that folder as well. He is also entered as Owner for
that folder.

* Upon sending a message with "Test" (or "test@xxxxxxxxxx") in the From
field (e.g. to himself), John gets an NDR from the mycorp Exchange
Server with the message "You do not have permission to send to this
recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator."

I have found tons of precedence of this problem on the web and usenet
but there was always either no answer at all or the given answers did
not apply (e.g. lots of articles hinted at a problem with mail sent to
outside recipients via SMTP - but the problem at hand happens with
internal recipients just as well).

What makes this case especially difficult is that I cannot reproduce
this at will in our test environment - though I do remember having this
problem several months ago as well. Back then however the problem went
away after we deleted and recreated the folder (that was still with an
Exchange 2000 server). - Not so at our customer. Here's what we tried
so far:

* Delete and recreate folder.
* Create entirely new folder and start configuration from scratch.
* Enable Diagnostics Logging for the Exchange Server (while the Event
Log did fill up considerably after this there was not even a Warning to
be seen).

All to no avail. Always the same result.

The server is running Exchange 2003 and the clients are running Outlook
2003.

Any ideas on where to look next or even something more definite, like
an actual solution?

Cheers,
