I have several distribution lists in my contacts. When I attach a distribution list to an email it looks fine when i send it internally through Exchange. When the email is sent externally...the distribution list looks like a forwarded email and does not contain any names or addresses. Any suggestions?

Locally created distribution lists in Outlook have a way of doing interesting things. I have seen similar distribution list activity where some of the contacts in the list do not receive the email even though their address is clearly seen on the local list. I have gotten rid of users creating local distribution lists because of this and similar issues. Try haveing the distribution lists created through the Exchange server and available for your use.

Hope this helps!

Our goal is to be able to forward the distribution list with intact names and addresses, both internal and external to our exchange box. Internal is not the problem. It is when we attach the distribution list to an email and the destination is external to our network.

thanks anyways
