Outlook + Exchange - Send From another account

Hello, after some searching and finding no answer I ask if anyone knows of a solution to the following issue.

While all users can enable the field 'send from' in Outlook, (in a new message by clicking on the drop down menu beside 'Options' and check marking 'From') they are restricted, Domain Admins however can literally pick any username and send mail as the user, which is great for April fools day but is not an acceptable practice. Are there any workarounds or fixes to this?

Outlook 2003 (11.8118.8132) SP2
Environment: Active Directory + Windows Server 2003 + Exchange 2003

If I have been a bit short on the problem description I'd be glad to provide more info.

Thanks for your time,

Ozz Lioi.

What are you trying to fix? Do you want to prevent Domain Admins sending e-mails from other people, or allow others to "send as "?

If the former, I think you need to review your Domain Admin policy. You don't want anyone you can't trust to follow simple good practice to have Domain Admin rights.

Personally, I don't give any users (including myself) Domain Admin rights; I have a Domain Admin account which I use to log on to key systems (e.g. servers) when I need to.

If you have users that need special rights in their day to day activities, then best policy is to elevate their rights to the minimum they need to do their tasks.

Domain admins are gods on a network - and that right needs to be given out sparingly.

 

First of all many thanks for kindly placing this in the right forum. I also thank you for the answer.
Let's see here, I have been a sysadmin for many years (started on NT4) and do understand the use of domain admin accounts, However it has become very little practical as I have a reduced team that has domain admin rights and they are all trusted. I want to reduce the possibility of errors without adding complexity.
We all work 90% of the time on servers and not having admin rights is painful as we hop from server to server handling tasks that range from managing users to installing/maintaining new/existing technologies as we're amidst a large scale migration that affects the whole company. When we email as admins there's always that possibility of changing the sender and I would like to restrict it somehow.
If Windows server or Exchange server technology does not allow for that, I gladly place it on a wishlist...

Many thanks for your time,

Ozz.
