2883.0. "System distribution list problem" by ZGOV06::CHANGTSANN (CHANG TSANN @ZGO DEIL S'pore) Fri Jun 18 1993 11:47

    Hi there,
    
    	I have a strange distribution list on a ALL-IN-1 V2.4 system.
    	User keyed in MPS: at the TO: prompt and the system translated it
    	to System Distribution List. 
    
    	ie. 
    
    	TO:  System Distribution List             ( MPS: )
    
    	The user sent this message out but one in the distribution list 
    	received the message.
    
    	I did a SH on the message in the OUTBOX folder and found that the 
    	addressees are wrong,
    
    	Addressees :
          TO:  System Distribution List             ( MPS: )
          
        and hence no one received the message.
    
        Should the addressees list contains the username written to the
        distribution list ?                                                
    
	What could have happened ? The user resend the message one more
        time and this time there wasn't a problem - addresses were listed
        correctly.
    
    	Please advise.
    
    Thanks,
    CT

    CT,
    
    Just to clarify, was both cases done interactively and from the same
    option?
    
    Was the user re-editing the message in the first case?  Was their
    process stopped for any reason?
    
    You may want to look at this STARS article: "Distribution List Does Not
    Expand ."

2883.2I'm sure this is fixed in v3.0AIMTEC::WICKS_AU.S.A 2 England 0 - I was there!Fri Jun 18 1993 17:029
    CT,
    
    As Tim said this is/was a known problem. It may have been fixed in a
    v2.4 patch but it's definitely fixed in v3.0 - by the way how many 
    addressees are in the list? (approx)
    
    regards,

2883.3Problem due to ZAPZGOV06::CHANGTSANNCHANG TSANN @ZGO DEIL S'poreMon Jun 21 1993 02:5015
    Hi there,
    
    I have checked in STARS, and found that the problem is due to ZAP, the idle
    process killer, which logged out the user while in editing mode. The
    article is:

    	Distribution List Not Expanding When Message Re-edited
    
    I'll inform users of this limitation.
    
    Thanks.
