DL owner works sporadically under EX55SP3?

[TAG]

I've been having strange issues on my Exchange 5.5 / SP3 server.
When I assign an owner to a distribution list, it usually works fine. (The owner can add/modify members from within their Outlook)

However, occasionally I have problems where the user cannot administer one or more of their DLs, even though they are the owner. They get an error that they don't have this permission.
It doesn't seem to be a user mailbox issue, as the user can often administer at least one or more of their DLs that they're an owner of. But they cannot administer certain DLs. Seems random so far.


Things I've tried:
- Rebooting the Exchange server (restarting services)

- Removed owner from the DL, synched the directory, then assigned ownership to the original user account. Same problem.

- Scanned the README for Exch55SP4, but didn't see any relevant fixes.

- Tried assigning permissions manually (ie Role: USER)

- Deleted/recreated the problem DL.


Any ideas?
I'm willing to try anything to fix this...so feel free to bring up any ideas you may have here!

Thanks

i have recently experianced the similar problem, for users who have 2 NT accounts in 2 NT4 domains. the user from DOM1 is a DL ownere, with permissions set for both NTaccounts from both DOMAINS.
the user can not modify members, but same user on other DL's can. there are no event logs on the Exchange server...
would be very thankfull if anybody can help us
best regards...Milan
