Assign sent on behalf messages:

Choose whether messages sent on behalf of a shared ('delegated') mailbox should be assigned to the actual sender ('delegate'), or to the shared mailbox.

"Sent on behalf" messages are assigned to the delegate's mailbox but the detail of the delegated mailbox is also available in message tracking files for On-Premise Exchange. As a consequence, messages can be assigned in the report to the delegate's mailbox, the delegated mailbox, or to both.

Note: This functionality is not available for Office 365.
