Boy you were wearing your Bad Idea jeans that day, dude. I never EVER open a mailbox until it's a Remedy ticket with the user permission pasted into it. Sounds to me like MS fixed that little issue in 2K. Or at least the ability to easily screw it up.

I am an Exch. 5.5 admin and when I set it up I created a DL called "Postmaster" for the Exchange admins. I gave this group permissions at the top level so they could open up any mailbox for troubleshooting purposes. This DL also gets all of the NDRs for review. We have now upgraded to a Win2000 clustered Exchange server and I am told that this structure is not supported in Exchange 2000 - that each user must GRANT me permission to open their mailbox. (Never mind why I'm not Exch 2000 literate - my duties are moving in a different direction.) So when a user asks me to open their mailbox to look at a suspicious message, for example, I can't until they grant me access. Does anyone know of a way (include the steps) to get the same permission structure on the Exchange 2000 environment?
