RE: Exchange Information Store Security? Send As...

Why not? Because that user ID can then send a message as any user on the
Exchange server (e.g. your CEO). If you absolutely have to implement this,
ensure that that particular user is tightly locked down, can only log on to
specified machines (probably the servers and nothing else) and activity is
tightly audited.
