MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Distribution Lists
I think I recall seing this question asked before, but I don't recall seeing an answer. Is there a way to force/allow a distribution list(DL) to be used in one specific field over another. The only example I can offer is a company DL. I would like to tie it to the BCC field in email, so as to avoid the nagging problem of users who insist on clicking the "reply" button. Is this feasible via Exchange or scripting or otherwise? Thanks. No. A DL is just a list of addresses. It's up to you to decide how you use it to send messages.

Is it possible to rearrange the header fields so that the BCC field shows up first for everyone, or is this client specific only?? I'm trying... :-) > No. A DL is just a list of addresses.

Sue, out of curiosity, Can you give me an example of one or two of these undesirable effects. If the benefits outweigh the risks, I may be so inclined to give it a shot. Our biggest problem here are our own "corporate spammers," moreso than actual outside spammers. I never realized how many people were into sports until one user sent out an unwarranted albeiit friendly bet, commenced between sites. :-/ lol > Only by creating and deploying a custom message form, which would have > other, potentially undesireable effects.

Very risky. "There are seldom technological solutions to behavioral problems." This issue needs to be addressed with user education, policies, and appropriate sanctions.
