I am using a distribution list to email contacts that are on a panel contract from multiple company's. some company's have mulltple email contacts. When adding the member of the distribution list (as the company name) and adding a second email address separated by a semicolon (;) I receive a mail delivery error. Is there a way of adding multiple email addresses to one member of a distribution list? -- Thanks and cheers,
No, each "member" of a distribution list consists of a single email address. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook 2007 Programming: Jumpstart for Power Users and Administrators http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=54 "amcg500" wrote: > I am using a distribution list to email contacts that are on a panel contract > from multiple company's. some company's have mulltple email contacts.

DLs have many limitations. I would use Contacts and make a new Field called "panel contract Yt666" as a yes/no field. Then check the box for members of the panel. Any time you want to email all of them, you sort by that field, select all those Contacts and Action, new email to Contact.
