We have the same here where they put a zz in the front of DL's and it drives me crazy. Especially since we have so many! -----Original Message----- From: Smith, Ronni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 11:57 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Opinions on distribution list vs. public discussion folder vs . m ailbox We use distribution lists for things kinda sorta like that. But they use it for additional things as well which only work on a distribution list basis. Plus, we are a very small company so the GAL is very small. We preface all distribution lists with a particular set of characters so they are all together and then users can slide straight to or past them as required. hth Ronni > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Helfer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 7:59 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: Opinions on distribution list vs. public discussion > folder vs. > m ailbox > > > > A user came to me with a request to set up a new GAL > Distribution list for > the members of a commitee, for the purpose of having a place > that other > employees can e-mail questions and have them addressed by > members of the > commitee (it's a CAD Standards commitee, and people have been > using the > excuse that they don't know who to ask when they have > questions about the > proper rules). > > I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to set up a public > folder that > people could post to, or just have a single mailbox that > would be monitored > by whomever is interested?
