Public Folder and Distribution Group   

In an attempt to remove the names involved in error reporting and replace 
them with distribution groups, I've created a distribution group, lets call 
it X.  I have a mail-enabled public folder, lets call it Y.  Distribution 
group X has many members including mail-enabled public folder Y, all of the 
members in the group receive e-mail when sent to this group besides 
mail-enabled public folder Y.  Any ideas on this?  Both are visible in the 
Global Contacts, mail-enabled public folder Y shows up as a member of 
Distribution group X, but Distribution group X does not show up in the 
"Members Of" tab of mail-enabled public folder Y, and if I try and add 
Distribution group X to mail-enabled public folder Y I get the error "The 
following Active Directory error occurred: The specified account name is 
already a member of the local group."  (This error seems understandable 
except for the fact that is says "local group")   Any help at all would be 
greatly appreciated.

Hi Andy,

if you have multidomain AD forest you should change distribution group scope 
to universal.

Re: Public Folder and Distribution Group   

Thanks for the feedback, this did not work.  I forgot to mention that I am 
sending this from an application that uses SMTP to send messages.  I would 
even settle if I could send it directly to mail-enabled public folder Y via 
its own smtp address, but I cannot seem to get this smtp address to work, 
all messages sent within exchange arrive, anything sent via smtp address, do 
not arrive as well as the fact that i get a "Undeliverable:" email to the 
sender address.

Error:  The message reached the recipient's e-mail system, but delivery was 
refused


Any ideas?  Thanks
