Locked Distribution List

[THayes]

I have a Distribution List that has a few hundred nmes and email addresses in
it. When I right click to open it in order to edit it, I get an error message
"Can't open this item! There is not enough memory on the Microsot Exchange
Server computer to perform the operation. Please contact your system
administrator." Well, I contacted my IS department and they indicated that
there is a corrupt email address in the distribution list. However, they
can't open it either. Any ides how I can open it or extract the names and
meail address?

While I don't know this will work, try this: create a PST and a Contacts
folder in that PST. Now copy that DL (without opening it) to the PST. Try
to open it from there. It is the Exchange mailbox that limits the size of
the DL, so perhaps putting it a PST and opening it from there will work.
