Hey guys, here's the situation. I have an Excel document with a 140 email addresses and names in it, and my boss wants me to create a distribution list for all the people in the list. Is there an easy way to go about doing this, or do I have to create individual contacts for all of them and then create the distribution list? Any help would be appreciated. thank you!!

Help with a distribution list

Well, it is a bit difficult to create a list when AD does not know about them, right?
So, yes, you will need to enter them. If they are all outside contacts, they all need to be Custom Recipient.

You could start here, not so simple though:

What you could do is go to outlook and export a contacts folder to CSV (windows). Open this document in excel to get your template then open the document with the 140 e-mail address and copy and paste into the apppriate column.
Open your Outlook and create a new contacts folder (just to keep it seperate). Go to - File - Import/Export - Import from another file - Comma seperated values (Windows)*Note you may need to install it - Pick the csv file
Once in outlook a distribution list is easy to set up.
That should do it.
