Hi,
It is not clear to me excactly what you are trying to do but I think you are trying to modify the Message Delivery Restriction on a mailbox. Is that correct?
If so, it seems that there is an entry there or in the DistributionGroup that doesn't have a mailbox. Modify the membership of that group and make sure that only users with a mailbox is listed.

Hi
I find case like yours. If you login to 2010 Exchange Management Console with an account that doesn’t have a email address attached to it and try to update new distribution list, it’ll throw back similar error. Customer solve it by same command through EMS.

Sorry for the late reply; but I came across this issue and it was not quite as straight forward as you may wish. In Exchange 2010 EMC the named problem user was not in the list of users allowed to send to the DL. I ran the following powershell command:
Get-DistributionGroup 'dl name' | select {$_.acceptmessagesonlyfrom} | export-csv c:\first.csv -notypeinformation
Sure enough, the problem user was listed. I opened ADSIEdit and found the user in the authOrig attribute. Once I removed him in ADSIEdit I could modify the DL itself. The user account was disabled, but still in AD. However, his mailbox had been removed.
If you can't find the listed problem user in the EMC check the authOrig attribute in ADSIEdit and remove it there.

This is for those that don't like using ADSIEdit, but to follow up on TBrennan's post you could use his string, or
Get-DistributionGroup ' dl name' | select {$_.acceptmessagesonlyfrom} | fl
to get the attributes on screen to have a current list. If there are not a large amount of accounts listed. Select All Senders radio button then save this will clear all the attributes including the problem hidden value. Open properties again in the EMC select Only senders in the following list and set the desired accounts.
