Right now when I create new user accounts, the default permissions for thier mailbox is to give them the SELF permission. They do not have thier own account listed with permissions.

Can someone explain the SELF permission to me? I'm thinking this is a potential problem as I remember something about an Exchange patch that removes the SELF permission.

We have only one Exchange 2003 SP2 server running on Windows 2003 Enterprise SP1

Thanks for any help!
 
the 'self' permission is needed for 'associate external account' right.

the security patch you're quite possibly referring to is the new blackberry workaround. the new exchange security patch removes the 'send as' permission, that has impact on 3rd party mailing apps such as blackberry enterprise server.

in answer to your question, self permission is not a flaw, its needed. Here is more info:
