How can I find how or what is using a proxy address on my Exchange 2010?
I made a black hole distribution group on my Exchange 2010 and when adding addresses it gives me the error: The proxy address "smtp:smith@whatever.com" is already being used by "Whatever.COM/EXEMPLOYEE/S
I have a single domain and Sam Smith does have that one address just as everyone has their own address (lastname@whatever.com. I have added other exemployee users without error but have a few like the one above that give me the error above. I'm still a bit green with Exchange so any help would be appreciated.

Seth,
That worked as it did find that user, I know where I put him but I was hoping that it would find another one so I could remove it from whatever user also had it. My goal is to add addresses to a black hole distribution list and when I do it errors out saying it's already being used. I can't remove it from the user as that is the only one he has, unless I'm just not understanding how to add people to a black hole distribution list. Any ideas?

objects that have a proxy address must be unique
what do you mean by black hole distribution list? what are you trying to accomplish?

That was easy and it worked! Just one more thing if you don't mind. Is there a way to check and see if the emails are in fact going to that distribution group?

My goal was not stated in the question so the answer might not make sense with out it.
right click on your domain and select find
in the find drop down list, change to custom search; click the advanced tab
in the ldap query field, type:
proxyaddresses=smtp:smith@
click find now and it will show you the object that has that address
