You are correct. &nbsp;My mistake. &nbsp;I checked the permissions of each of the Distribution Groups the user sent emails too and the only group he was able to send to was the IT Dept group which I am in, so therefore I got the email but members of the other groups wouldn't have.<br />
<br />
Thanks for helping me realise this!!! :)

Hello<br />
<br />
We have multiple distribution groups created within Active Directory. &nbsp;These are restricted in the Exchange General tab - Message Restrictions options where we have 'Only From:' selected and have added in the only people who can email to these groups. &nbsp;However, a user has just left the company and was able to send to those distribution groups when they didn't have access to do so. &nbsp;So my question is, how were they able to send so I can ensure this doesn't happen again?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
