Meeting Request sent to wrong user

I have a user where any meeting request sent to him is forwarded to another
mailbox by default. Email arrives properly and is not forwarded. The other
mailbox does have permission (it is a husband and wife). I am having him
check his client side rules, but I am positive that he doesn't have any and
there are no server side rules running on his mailbox.

We are using Outlook 2003 sp2, Exchange 2003 sp2 on a Windows 2003 server.
If his wife accepts the meeting requests on his behalf they will show up in
his calendar. Anyone ever seen this before. Very Odd.
 
The symptoms suggest that he set up a delegate.

Have you checked rules?

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Sounds like the hidden delegate rule still might be forwarding those requests. You can delete the delegate rule with the free MAPI Editor tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=55FDFFD7-1878-4637-9808-1E21ABB3AE37. Complete instructions in the mfcmapi.doc included with the download.
