Alright gang, I really need your help. I have a mailbox for our
conference room setup as a resource. Here's a list of things I've
completed:

1. Created new mailbox for conference room
2. Entered the mailbox through outlook and turned on the Auto accept
meeting invites and cancellations.
3. I also set the auto decline conflicting meeting requests.
4. I made the additional step of Setting the Permissions of the
calender (within outlook) to give the Default user only Reviewer
permissions, and a select few (managers) Author permissions.
5. For testing puposes I have given myself the "None" permission.
6. Within the user account's Active Directory properties, I configure
the mailbox restrictions to not accept email messages from a
distribution group that contains all of my users (including me).

Now when I get out of outlook, and goto my own mailbox and I create a
new meeting request with the resource (but making it a required
attendee instead of a resource), I expect to get an error message back
when I submit the request. Instead the calendar accepts the meeting
request.

Does anyone know what's going on here?
