An Exchange distribution list is:

• For internal addresses only, i.e. addresses present in the Global Address List
• Ideally suited for departmental groups
• Used to control access to resources such as shared folders and SharePoint sites

Create an Exchange distribution list

To create an Exchange distribution list, complete the Exchange Distribution list form on ASK.

Please note: It can take up to 6 hours to create a distribution list.

Manage a distribution list online

The distribution list Management web application allows list owners to add and remove email addresses. Only permitted editors of the list will see the buttons allowing them to perform these actions.

You can view permitted editors under the “Group Editors” tab.

This web application is primarily for Mac and Linux users. We advise Windows users to use Update DLs from their Start menu.

Please note it will take around 2 hours for any changes to the list to be processed and be reflected in the address book.
