Can't change address in distibution list

[Dave Neve]

Hello

While making a distribution list, I made a mistake and put a dot between the
first and second names of person ie (e-mail address removed)

I also sent off a number of emails to this address before realizing the
mistake.

I then changed the address in the list to (e-mail address removed)
and recorded the change but when I next sent out an email to this list, I
got a message back saying that the address (e-mail address removed) (with a
dot) was unknown.

In other words, at the moment of sending, the old address was still being
used.

So I supressed the distribution list from Outlook's cache thinking that was
the problem but it made no difference.

I have also tried searching my contacts using Copernic Desktop search to
make sure the old email address isn't anywhere in my system (which it isn't)

Finally, I have tried sending a message to the people in the list and
decomposing the addresses by clicking on the little + next to the name of
the list and checking the problematic address.

It is the correct one (without a dot between the names) but still the server
sends me back a message saying that (e-mail address removed) (with a dot)
doesn't exist.

So I am assuming that Outlook is still using the old address but where and
how I don't know

I have Office Outlook 2003 and I use Word 2003 as my email editor.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Regards

Dave Neve

Did you reresolve the address after making a change to the list? It may
also work better if you delete the old member entry and add the person
afresh rather than trying to change the member.
