Distribution lists
A distribution list saves you time when you send messages to the same group of
addresses. You can create up to 9 personal distribution lists. Each personal distribution
list can contain up to 99 entries. You can also use shared distribution lists supplied by
your system administrator.
To create a personal distribution list
A personal distribution list can contain all of the same types of addresses to which you can
send a composed message, except other personal distribution lists. An entry can be a
mailbox number, shared distribution list number, network mailbox, open network mailbox,
or telephone number. See Addressing a message, page 13. You can also add an entry by
spelling a person’s name. See Addressing by name, page 14.
