Outlook Distribution List
Hello,
Hopefully this is a simple question. I have a user that sends an email out via an outlook Distribution List that she has created. She wants to be very clear that the email addresses on this DL are safekept from others on the DL. Typically - shes puts the DL in the BCC (sends it to herself).
I have two questions:
1. Is there a way to safeguard her from making the mistake of NOT putting this in the BCC line? I.E. if she happened to mistakenly CC using the DL - is there a way to hide the addresses of everyone?
2. Is there a better way to do this in general? Since its not an exchange DL - is there anything that can be done in exchange? Or on Postini?
Thanks!

If you are in AD, you could create a group containing the list of contacts and set the group to only accept mail from her address. That would both hide the recipient addresses and prevent them from using the distribution address if she were to accidentally CC it.

Ok thanks - but will that work with EXTERNAL email addresses as well?
If you add them to AD as contacts, then yes.

OK that's interesting. I guess that doesnt make total sense to me, either. How can I set recipient rules if I am the outbound SMTP server - not the inbound on the recipient side?
