Distribution List Interaction With LCOS
You can use LCOS settings to control the number of distribution lists per mailbox, the number of
members per list, and the maximum number of recipients for any message. The specific limits
that apply to distribution lists are:
• Maximum members per distribution list (maximum 65,535)
• Maximum number of distribution lists (maximum 99)
• Maximum recipients count (maximum 65,535)
You can use the “Maximum recipients count” limit to control the impact of nested distribution lists.
The server does not deliver the message to more recipients than this limit allows, even if the total
recipients in the nested distribution lists is greater.
Note: The maximum for a distribution list in a tree or rotational mailbox is 190 members.
For more information on any of these features, see the Other Classes of Service chapter.
Distribution List Interaction With GCOS
Distribution lists are affected by the GCOS settings that control the ability of any mailbox owner to
send messages to other mailbox owners. You must ensure that all members of a master
distribution list have GCOS settings that allow them to exchange messages. Mailbox owners
cannot add recipients who do not share GCOS settings to their distribution lists.
For more information on Group Class of Service, see the Other COS Chapter.
Mailbox Settings for Distribution Lists
Each mailbox has two parameters that are specific to distribution lists:
• Lists with review rights
• Lists with change rights
These parameters control which lists a mailbox owner can review or change. Review rights allow
the owner to play the names and numbers of all mailboxes in a list. Denying review rights can
keep the contents of a list confidential. Change rights allow the owner to add or delete mailboxes
in a list. Denying change rights prevents the user from altering a distribution list, which is helpful
for certain applications, such as networking, that require distribution lists.
List Maintenance
The List Maintenance Menu allows you to create, modify, delete and view distribution lists in any
mailbox. You can also locate all lists that contain a specific mailbox, and delete that mailbox from
all lists.
By using Administration by Phone you can create, modify, delete and review master distribution
lists in an administrator’s mailbox, and you can record names for those lists. From an
administrator’s mailbox you can create and modify master lists from 1 to 99, just like a mailbox
owner’s personal lists. Administrators’ mailboxes do not have user (mailbox owner) distribution
lists, only master lists.
