Exchange 2010, Recipient not found after creating a distribution group
A previous admin had created a mail box that forwarded to a distribution group. I did not like the implementation so removed the mailbox. I deleted the group in AD and then used power shell to delete the disconnected mailbox.
I then created a distribution group properly, and mail enabled it for external senders. I did however use the same email address for the distro that was used for the traditional mailbox that I deleted.
External senders can send to it fine. When internal senders try to send to it, they get a kick back.
I have cleared the old address references from the Outlook cache on my test machine with no luck.
