How can I enlarge size of distribution lists in Exchange?

[xtremist5150]

Running Exchange 2000 and using Outlook XP on a Windows XP client. I have a distribution list of approximately 150 people but when I try to add more to it, it says my distribution list is too big. Any way I can increase the size of it? I think it may be based solely in Outlook but not sure. I do run Exchange through it so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Don't quote me on it, but I believe the limit is 5000 users per DL?

Where is the DL, on Exchange, or in Outlook?

Actually now that I look at it, the distribution list is in Outlook. Will that be a problem?

No, but the post in in the Exchange Forum, so we were looking at the wrong thing to blame ;-)

As a quick workaround, what you can do as a test: create 4 DL's of 50, then 1 DL where you make those 4 DL's member of.

Isn't your SMTP service limited to 150 concurrent connections?

Nothing to do with SMTP, it is Oultook
