Trying to create distribution lists in Outlook 2003 containing approximately 400 enteries from Outlook Address Book contacts. &nbsp;Get error &quot;This distribution list has reached the maximum size for your network e-mail server. &nbsp;No new members could be added.&quot;<br />
<br />
Is there a default maximum and can I change it in Outlook or on the Exchange Server?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
