I have a complicated little network of DLs, including some nested ones. I would like an easy way to find which DL(s) a particular email address appears in. Any ideas?

Hi Mike,

One way is to add all the email addresses in a DL to the notes field, they will then be searchable. A quick way to do this is start an email with the DL, expand it (using the + by the DL name), and copy the addresses. Paste the addresses into the notes field and save. Now when you search for a name or email address, the DLs with those names should show up. If you have a nested DL you’ll either have to copy those emails into the notes field, too. Might be a lot of work to maintain?

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Nathan

Nathan thanks,
In a nice way – thats not a bad idea. DLs dont have a unique notes field – I think it is a contacts field isnt it. I’d have to amend my ways, I have a habit of holding historic email addresses in contacts fields. Definately one to consider – my DLs are relatively static once set up.
