    I think we have ghosts...

    We recently terminated a user who had delegate
    permissions to quite a few of our users and purged the
    mailbox and, even after removing the zombie references in
    the other users' folders, we are still getting NDR
    messages when sending meeting requests to one of the
    users she had permissions to. This is the message we get:
    ----------------------------------
    Your message did not reach some or all of the intended
    recipients.

          Subject: [Message Subject]
          Sent: [Sent Date]

    The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

          [Deleted User] on [Sent Date]

    organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail
    address, or contact the recipient directly to find out
    the correct address.

    First question; does anyone know how to find the
    reference that is causing the NDR? I've checked every
    folder for the users she had access to and I can't find
    anything.

    Second question; is there a way I can prevent this in the
    future when deleting users with permissions to others'
    mailboxes. At least, there should be a way to search and
    purge the references without checking and cleaning the
    properties of every folder of every user they had access
    to. Please help.
