What is this "list of Contacts?" To what type of group are you referring?
You cannot take Contact data from another source and use it to create a
Distribution List directly. You can only import Contact data into a Contacts
Folder. There are far better ways to group Contacts than DL's, such as
Categories or separate Contact subfolders.
