Earlier, I posted the link to the Domino Admin 101 slides. IBM has now posted the Q&A for the session.
Running through the questions and the answers, I came upon an answer that made me laugh. It reminded me of how I used to do things.
"See if anyone mentions that it is no longer usable." I don't know about you, however I prefer NOT to be contacted by the users (the evil Admin that I am). Something like this (HelpSoftware's Find Unused Groups) might be more appropriate. And remove the possibilty that someone will call you. :-)

Q: Is there any way to see if a group is not being used?
A: There is no current tool or feature to check this for you, but there are a couple of tricks you can use. You can make a backup of the group and delete it or rename it. See if anyone mentions that it is no longer usable. You can also set security on it and if anyone tries to use it, it will show up on the Domino console log.

hehe, yep, that is one way.
BUT, you can verify if a group is used in an ACL by looking at the domain or database catalog.
Check Access Control lists, then by name and bingo.
Now, if it is being used as an email group? I try to log the name of the "owner" when I create them. If it is open for anyone well, too bad then
Probably a developer could mine your email files for all references to the group name or scan mail when routing.
