3440.0. "Distribution List in Shared Drawer?" by GIDDAY::BURT (Plot? What plot? Where?) Mon Oct 25 1993 07:13

Hello and greetings,

Customer running ALL-IN-1 V3.0. I don't quite understand the reasoning behind
it, but we have a customer who wants to have a Distribution list in a Shared
drawer.
Is this possible, or should he/must he stick with using Group Services DLs and
adding maintainers (if necessary)?

Thanks & regards,

Chele B

	Chele, I thought that the MAIL code (brilliant as it might be) only looks in the DISTRIBUTION LISTS folder of the MAIL (i.e MAIN drawer) for personal distribuiton lists so is the customer asking for this to change? Also System Distribution List aren't stored in drawers anyway (they're profile entries) so the question doesn't make sense and you need OA$ADMIN not groups to get at those. So try again what was the question.... Regards, Andrew.D.Wicks

	Hi Andrew, re <<< Note 3440.1 by AIMTEC::WICKS_A > -< I;ll have a pint of what they;re drinking >- You'd be better off with "a bottle in front of me" rather than what the customer appears to have had.... :) >So try again what was the question.... The customer didn't know GS even existed - he wasn't sure whether he wanted a system dl, or personal, or what. I'm starting to feel a real need for sub-titles when talkning to this guy. "I know what you asked for, but what do you actually _want_?" After further discussion, what he actually wants is the ability to access (ie SEE) and update group distribution lists, by group maintainers, without having to use system dls, with their requirement for OA$ADMIN. ie do it all from the GS menu - create the group, and the dl, then have it visible & maintainable by specific people in the group. If this facility, or something similar, are in a PFR, could someone mail me? If not, could it be wishlisted? Thanks & regards, Chele

	Chele, >> ie do it all from the GS menu - create the group, and the dl, then have it >> visible & maintainable by specific people in the group You can do all this in V3.0! When you create a group, that can be used as a DL in itself; you don't need a separate distribution list. You just type the group name (eg *DUMBKOPF) at the TO: field. GS allows you to speicify a maintainer's list for the group, the option is UML. What more does the customer want? Scott
3440.4	...and more to come (allegedly)...	IOSG::DUTT	Nigel Dutt	`Tue Oct 26 1993 13:14`	6
	And just to complete the picture, the ability to allow named users to be maintainers for specific system distribution lists is being considered for inclusion in a PFR. Inquire in A1INFO if you want to know more.
