Setup address list in Exchange 2007 for external email adresses only

Hi.

I need to create a distribution list in exchange 2007. The customer has all his clients listed in an excel sheet and he asked me to make them import it for his staff to send mails like they would to their global address list. How do I create this? The catch is that none of the users, or users with external email adresses should be included when the mail distribution is done.

They should also be able to add, edit or delete recipients.

Thank you in advance.

Are you looking for editing distribution list or global address list?
You have to create a mail enabled contact for each user in Exchange, then create a group containing those users.
Furthermore those contacts will appear in the GAL and to keep them updated it will need fairly high rights within the domain.

It is not something I recommend.

If the user wants to create a group, then import the contacts in a Public Folder and create a list in there instead. You can then delegate the management of the list to someone else.

Hi Simon

No, This is not what I need to do. I dont want to change the default GAL. Merely add another address list.
I
 cannot add a single mail contact for each user. It would end up in thousands. I also tried addining multiple addresses into a single contact, and this also did not work.

I have already tried the latter solution as interim.

Thank you for your help though. Why does Microsoft not think of the basics...
