You would need to use csvde to import a comma seperated file to a Distribution list. With regards to making the group only visible to some groups and not others. I am not sure if this can be done. Probably so but the issue here is that You need to allow access to everyone and specifically deny access to all except the groups you want to have access otherwise the deny would overwrite take precidence and no-oe would be able to see it. The more simple way here is one of two options. First way is to create a contact and then email it to everyone concerned. Second way is to create the DL as normal allow it to be published, Hide the membership and only allow specific users to send to it. The second one is by far the simplest way.

Thanks in advance.
