Receiving own message

C

My company is running Exchange 2000 with Outlook XP.

For my department, we have set up a distribution list with everyone's
e-mai in it.

When I send a message to that group, I receive the message I sent
since my name is in the distro list.

Is there an automated way to stop receiving the e-mails I sent?

Thanks for any advice.

Since you're explicitly sending the message to yourself, Outlook does what
you tell it. If you don't want your address there, expand the DL and remove
your address before clicking Send.

I don't think thats possible, i may be wrong.

You could try defining a rule where if you are the sender and the
email is sent to a particular <distribution list> it would
automatically be moved to trash.

In Outlook XP, how do you expand the list before sending? I know in
Outlook 2003 there is a + sign to expand it, but not in Outlook XP.

or zap it into thin air (permanently delete)

I missed your initial statement that you were using Outlook 2002. Sorry.
You're correct. I don't see any way around it.

Incoming mail wouldn't necessarily look like that. Depending on the list
configuration, the sender address could be the list address, so such a rule
wouldn't apply.
