Here's a weird one for the CP IT hive mind. Someone higher up in the company sent an e-mail to every employee last week through the all company distribution group but claims they never did so and is asking that it be tracked down. Nobody else has access permissions to their mailbox.

I suspect they sent it accidentally but I cannot find any way to source the originating PC or mobile device. All the Exchange tracking logs from the Powershell command "Get-MessageTrackingLog" only go as far as the original CAS/HUB server that received the e-mail.

Does anybody know of a way I can track down where this e-mail originated? It will have to have come from Outlook on a workstation, a personal mobile device connected to Active Sync, or via the web over OWA. Any ideas? I'm all Googled out!
