Well, you dont need to have an smtp address, especially if you use Outlook client to send messages to this DL. Using Outlook client, you open a new message, look for the DL in the GAL select it and send the message, you dont need to have an e-mail address because Outlook client uses mapi to send the message. If you send a message to this DL using a program like outlook express (smtp client), I agrre with you, you will have to have an e-mail address. Once more, I am talking about Exchange 5.5 only, I dont know about E2K.

You need to have an smtp for internal email. I still want to use the group internally, I just don't want internet email coming to this group.

DLs doesnt need to have an e-mail address, it works fine without it, at least in MS Exchange 5.5 Regards, Dêniz Feital GIC - Chiptek / Vésper Tel 55 11 3489-7730 Fax 55 11 3489-7499 Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer -----Original Message----- From: John B [mailto:itcalif@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 4:08 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] group distribution lists http://www.MSExchange.org/ Over the weekend we received some junk emails to our distribution lists. For example, salesgroup@xxxxxxxxxx order=down&sort=date&pos=0> . There are X amount of users in this group and they all received junk mail. I have filtered this address out, however to prevent this in the future is there any way to stop this group from receiving email from outside? _____ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
