Help find and distroy lost email address.

I have an email address I need to get rid of.  Benefits@mydomain.com underlines when I type it into Outlook. The address is not cached.  When I send a message with Request Delivery Receipt, it comes right back delivered.  It does not show up in Exchange Management Console as a mailbox or a DL.  I can't find the account in AD Advanced search.  Any ideas where to look next?

Is it part of your .NK2 file, meaning, is it in your auto-complete list? If you start to type the address in the "To:" field and it shows up, use the down arrow to highlight it, then click delete.

Yes.  Tried that.   The address is not cached.   Thanks.
Ok. Is it an outside contact within Active Directory? Is it in a local address book somewhere?
Maybe try to search with adfind

Joe has some shortcuts in there
adfind -sc exchaddresses: Benefits@mydomain.com
adfind -sc email:Benefits@mydomain.com
It is a local address.  And a test message is delivered.

I'll bet it is in Active Directory under some OU as a resource.
