Kevin Snook has a program that will update DL's. Not sure it will work on Public Folders.

The same contacts that are in our distribution lists are also needed by
the sale people out on the road. That's why we we're trying to do it
through Public Folders so we could make them accessible through OWA. To
make things worse we have an antiquated travel booking program that
needs to be able to check names against them. We're trying desperately
to avoid having multiple contact databases, but it's looking more and
more like an impossibility.

Yup. All our contact info is in a SQL database, and we've been seeking a
decent solution that we can afford to keep e-mail address lists as
dynamic as we can keep our Fax phonebooks.
We're experimenting with Gammadyne because it has an ODBC connection.
From just Outlook and DL's, Kevin Snook has something. 
What exactly are your requirements?

Does anyone have suggestions for dealing with mailing lists? We're 
running e2k sp1 on w2k sp2 and have several very large mailing lists to 
maintain. For example, we have one list that sends a newsletter out to 
most of our employees as well as a few thousand of our customers that 
request it. This should be simple enough but, we just can't seem to find


the right balance of proper administration and ease of use. From your

these lists?

We have a box running LISTSERV Lite on top of LSMTP Lite. You can deploy it
$1500 + time + hardware. It is not a 100% point-and-click solution, and you
won't be able to deploy it without a good understanding of what's going on
(this took me about a day). Be sure you disable relaying; we neglected to do
this and were briefly listed on ORBS as a result.
