3. Right-click the user account that mail needs to be sent on behalf of and click Properties.

4. Select the Exchange General tab. Click Delivery Options.

5. In the Send on behalf control group, click Add.

6. Type the account name of the user that needs to be able to send mail as the user whose account you've selected, and click Check Names.

Discussion

When "send on behalf of" permissions are granted to a user, the user can send email messages from the account it was granted permissions to. The message will show the recipient that the message was sent on behalf of the modified account. Often, an executive may request that this type of permission be given to a trusted assistant so that the assistant can respond to general inquiries. For that reason, Outlook allows you to set this permission directly from the Delegates tab.
