Problem with distribution list, bad email addresses.

[Huck Rorick]

When I send a message to a distribution list it seems that if one of the
email addresses is invalid it aborts the whole operation. I then have to
fix that email address and send the message to the list again. Is that
right? If so, is there anyway to check the list or make it so that it sends
all the messages to members with valid email and simply skips the others?



Thanks for your help,

It should send to all but the invalid address, but if you want to make sure,
enable diagnostic logging and see if it all aborts or if only the invalid
address fails. For SMTP mail, as long as the invalid address is in a
correct Internet form (i.e., username@domain), then Outlook won't care. It
is the server that will worry about it.
