How to create an Email Distribution List

I was asked recently by a customer how to create an email distribution list using Microsoft Outlook.

Here are the steps:

1. Open Microsoft Outlook;

2. Select Address Book;

3. Select File New Entry;

4. Select New Distribution List and Click OK;

5. Choose a name for the new Distribution List;

6. Select Select Members and add from your address book;

7. Once members added select Save & Close;

8. Now you can send to this distribution list by selecting it as the addressee when composing a new email, rather than typing or adding a selection of individual names and/or email addresses;

9. To ensure the members of your distribution list are not known to other members send as a bcc message. The sent message will show you as both the sender and receiver of the email.
