I need to create a second Global Mailing list on my server for our business contacts. We have an existing Global list that has our employees. I have the contact list in a CSV file format and want to import it into a new list available to everyone which can be unpdated on a regular basis. Trying to figure our where to start. Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

Is it safe to assume that you are using Exchange as your Email server?

If so, it is going to depend on which version of Exchange you are using.

In Exchange 5.5, the only way to add outside addresses to a Distro List that is part of the Global Address List is to create a custom recipient for each individual outside address.

In Exchange 2000 (since the GAL no longer exists per se, there is only AD), you create Contacts in AD using the AD Users and Computers management console. Once the contacts are created, you then add the contacts to a mail-enable group.

Hope this helps.
