BFU - Why bother with a distribution list at all? Just keep all your names and addresses as a text file (in the form
"John Doe" <[email protected]> ), with a comma after each entry. Then everytime you want to send out a "broadcast", just cut and paste the list into the Bcc field in Outlook. That makes it easy to maintain (simply use your word processor or text editor), easy to transport to another system, and also, it's unlikely that any pesky virus will identify and use it to proliferate any virus. And you can use it in any mail package you like. Works for me! I regularly use this technique to mail up to a thousand people. One word of advice: Make sure there is a recipient in the "To:" field (can be a dummy address like
[email protected]). Reason for this is that some mail systems are set up to detect spam mail, and will reject any message to "Recipients Suppressed" which is what happens if you only mail to a list on "Bcc"
