MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2007distribution list not working
I am using Outlook 2003. I have added contact names and email addresses to my Contact list. I then added those names to a new Distribution list and saved that list. Then I created an email and selected that Distribution list in the To box. I created the rest of my email which was just text and then sent the email. The problem is it was not received by anyone on the distribution list. Can you tell me why? Hi D Pfaff, maybe the first e-mail-address is not valid. A DL stop sending the rest of the DL if you get a wrong e-mail address in the DL. I would use the "serial mail" function with Outlook and word, and pu you email address in the "To" fiedl and all others in the "BCC" field. "How to use mail merge to create e-mail messages in Word" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294694/en-us Maybe it helps. -- Oliver Vukovics Share your Outlook PST files without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Synchronisation for Outlook and Exchange: Public SyncTool http://www.publicshareware.com >I am using Outlook 2003.

I put my work email address in the To box and the DL in the CC box but still with no success. I didn't even get the email sent to work email in the To box. Any other ideas? > Hi D Pfaff, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > sent the email. The problem is it was not received by anyone on the > > distribution list.

Did the message move to Sent Items?  SignatureBrian Tillman Brian, yes the message moved to sent items. The account is a personal account at Comcast.net. The funny thing is I just tried resending the same message except I selected each of the names from my Contact List instead of using the DL and the email shows up in my Sent Items but did not go out. I know this because my work email is on the DL and I included it in my selection of the individual names from the CL. Any thoughts? > > I am using Outlook 2003.

D Pfaff, Since you mentioned this is a personal account with Comcast, how large is your Distribution List. Comcast does have a limit of the # of recipients an email can have per message. I believe the recipient number is 100 per message for Comcast, but I am not sure. You may need to break up the original list into several smaller lists, and send the message, after saving the message first on your PC, multiple times, using the "new" lists.

You can prove this by examining the diagnostic log. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831053/en-us SignatureBrian Tillman |
