Hi.

What is the max numer of contacts that a distribution list can contain?

I use Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003

Thanks..
 
Dear,
This what I know: there is not an exact number of contacts that you can add
in a DL, the limit is based on the total size of the contacts. If you use the
very basic information for contacts (for example, only the name and the
e-mail address), your DL limit may be 125 to 130 contacts. On average, the
number of contacts that you can add to a DL is limited between 50 and 70
contacts, but for some user who have contacts that contain a large amount of
data, the DL limit can only be as little as 25 contacts. The DL limit is also
based on the property size limit of the Microsoft Exchange server. The
property size limit for an Exchange server is about 8 kilobytes (KB). The
Exchange server stores all contact links in one property store, so the DL
limit depends on the contact's name length and the size of the entry ID (the
type of e-mail address and the length), on average.
