Add Distribution List

When you create a distribution list, you are creating a group email address. Whenever someone sends email to that email address, the email is automatically sent to all members of the distribution list. These members can be mailboxes within the domain and/or contacts outside of the domain. To create a distribution list, log into the control panel, and perform the following steps:

  1. Mouse over the Go to section drop-down menu and select Microsoft Exchange.
     
    Microsoft exchange link highlighted.
  2. In the Email Accounts section, click the Distribution Lists link.
     
    Distribution lists link highlighted.
  3. If you have multiple domains, you may be prompted to select a domain name. Or, to change domains at any time, click the change domain link.
  4. Click the Add Distribution List button.
  5. Enter the following information in the spaces provided:
  6. Display Name—Enter a descriptive list name.
  7. Email Address—Enter a unique address name (e.g., sales or staff) for the list.
  8. To hide the distribution list from the Global Address List, where it can be viewed by others, select the Hide from Global Address List check box.
  9. To add a mailbox to the list, select an address from the Available Email Addresses box, and then click the Add button. To select multiple addresses, press and hold the Ctrl key while clicking the addresses. Use the Filter or Search tools to locate specific email addresses.
  10. To remove a mailbox from the list, select an address from the Members of this List box, and click the Remove button. To select multiple addresses, press and hold the Ctrl key while clicking the addresses.
