No one but you guys see the folder names, unless your folders start bouncing mail, but you would never let that happen. I call mine whatever they are: Exchange, WinNT, Scripting, etc.
There's a very thorough Technet article called "How to subscribe a public folder to an internet mailing list". May want to have a read of that one straight-away. -----Original Message----- From: Yanek Korff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 2:15 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Public Folders & Mailing Lists I have had little success searching the archives -- too little comes up (using the link at the bottom of the E-Mail). I don't see anything relevant in the faq. I guess it's the setup I'm interested in. As I create folders, names are assigned to them. What's the reccommended way to subscribe to these mailing lists? Set my smtp address to the name of the mailing list for subscription and subsequently create the folder to catch future E-Mails? -Yanek. > -----Original Message----- > From: Hunter, Lori [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 2:38 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Public Folders & Mailing Lists > > > Yay!!!
