MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2007Distribution Lists
Hi, I am a new user of Outlook 2000. I have set up a distribution list but when I tried to send an email, I get a System Administrator message that says No transport provider was available for delivery to this recipient. What does that mean? Thanks-- tweeks Most likely that you have a corrupt address in the DL. Are all your other messages sent correctly?

I noticed in a lot of the other discussions you suggest categories instead of DL. Where exactly to I specific the category? I did not add the email addresses to my contact list, b/c I didn't have names associated with them. I just added the email addresses to the DL by clicking add new member. I don't want these in my contact list. Signaturetweeks > Most likely that you have a corrupt address in the DL. > Are all your other messages sent correctly?

You can examine each entry and make sure the address is both valid and resolved. Here is the way to use Categories in lieu of DL's: http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2003/20030730.htm SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Yes, all my other messages are sent correctly.

I have to resend every message, sometimes several times, before it eventally gets sent. This is driving me bonkers! > DL's are notoriously unreliable, especially ones created in this way because > you will receive no warning if you enter an invalid address.

The minimum would include Outlook version, information store, mail transport type, and recipient selection method. Outlook is telling you it can't recognize the electronic address. Only you could have a clue why that would occur. You can see your Contact data. We can't.

Keep looking for one. Are you saying Outlook never worked? If not, what steps did you use to break it? Are you saying that if you keep trying the same thing over and over that the message is eventually sent? That would be truly inexplicable.

I tried rolling back to a few restore points, and it didn't help. I'm wondering if it might be my internet connection... it used to work just fine, this started happening about a week ago. > Indeed.

[quoted text clipped - 66 lines] > >> >> >> > Thanks-- > >> >> >> > tweeks If your account setting were incorrect or the address was corrupt (the two most likely causes for this error message), then the problem would be persistent, not intermittent. Connectivity problems do not usually throw this error message. When did you start getting these messages? Are you doing anything else inadvisable, like scanning your outgoing messages for viruses?

I opened my virus protection (I use McAfee) and drilled down through the settings and sure enough, it was checking outgoing messages! I turned it off (of course, it squawked that I wasn't protected), and everything seems to be okay now!

The specific error message that I received after setting up a Distribution List and attempting to test it was: "An unexpected error has occurred."
