398.0. "Sending mail to a Distribution List from a script" by CHEFS::LEEB () Thu Apr 02 1992 14:56

    
    Hi,
    
       Can aybody help with a problem I have sending mail to a distribution
    list from an ALL-IN-1 script.
    
    The script creates a .TMP file using MERGE. When the mail destination
    is a valid mail address everything worke OK. When the destination is a 
    distribution list the mail message is only sent to the first name on
    the list. When the message has been sent the copy in the OUTBOX has all
    the names from the distribution list shown undef TO:. The mail as
    received also shows all the names from the distribution list, but in
    reverse order.
    
    The code in the script used to send the mails is:
    
    GET #A_MAIL="MAIL CREATE/NOSEND/NOEDIT/OPEN/TEMPLATE=A_MAIL.TMP"
    
    GET OS$FUNCTION=#A_MAIL
                      
    GET OA$FUNCTION="MAIL SUBJECT" #A_SUBJ
    GET OA$FUNCTION="MAIL TO" #A_DESTINATION
    GET OA$FUNCTION="MAIL EXPAND_DIST_LIST"
    
    MAIL CLOSE_MESSAGE
    MAIL SEND
    
    Any ideas / suggestions gratefully received.
    
    
    Thanks
    
           Barrie
