Meetings automatically accepted

[Judy]

Both users on an Exchange server using Outlook 2003 SP3

When UserA sends a meeting request to UserB the meeting is automatically
added to UserB's calendar without the benefit of an e-mail request to Accept
or Decline.

UserB does NOT have the "Automatically Accept meeting requests" option
selected.

When UserB looks opens the appointment and looks in the Scheduling tab there
is an "X" over the envelope (next to UserA/requestor's name) and the text "Do
not send meeting to this attendee" appears when the mouse pointer floats over
the "X."

UserA can send meeting requests to other users and the other users DO
receive the Accept or Decline e-mail.

Please advise, and thanks!

Is there a delegate relationship between A and B?

No. No delegation/folder sharing between the two.

Diane,
a similar question.
The manual says
"Soon after a meeting request arrives in your Inbox, a piece of Outlook code
— nicknamed the "sniffer" — automatically adds the meeting to your calendar
and marks it as tentative."
In fact, nothing happens.
If I check mark "Automatically Accept meeting requests" it works, but the
meeting is marked as accepted, which is not desirable.
Is it server or client dependable?

Thanks,
Eugene.

Try starting Outlook with the /cleansniff switch.

Thank you both for your input. I've never heard of the cleansniff switch but
will investigate.
