"ghost" address in DL

[Guest]

Hello!

I deleted a contact two months ago from Outlook. Recently I discovered that
when I send mail to a dl that previously had that contact in it, I get a
delivery failure for that contact.

When I go back in the dl and the email I do not see that contact listed.

I believe that there are text files that this information is stored in, but
I can't rememberr where they are. Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance!

Did you update the DL after you removed the Contact? Did you makes sure the
entry was also deleted from the DL when you deleted the Contact? What
Outlook version? What information store?

Try deleting the autocompletion entry for this DL.

I give up then. Hope you enjoy Outlook.
Most of us gave up on DL's long ago for reasons like this.
