Hello Listers,

ARS 6.3 Patch 21
SQL Server 2000
Windows 200 server

I am reworking a small help desk application and I was wondering if
there is a general philosophy for handling email lists.

We are identifying a list of people "types":
Management
Field Rep
Ticket Expediter
Warranty Clerk
etc.

There will be a few people in each type and the names can change
frequently. More that once a month.
And a person can be multiple types. ( Field Rep AND Warranty Clerk). We
wouldn't want them getting two emails if both types were selected for
notification.

Usually I make a group and use it to send the notifications but I was
concerned that adding a new "type" and the constant flexibility of the
user community among the types would be better suited to a data driven
form. I like the use of a Group in the email notification for expanding
the addresses.
I'm not sure if I have to worry about the To: field and a 255 character
limit if I use a non-standard Notification workflow.

Would dynamic or computed groups be a solution? 

My ultimate goal is to hand over the list maintenance to a power user.

Thanks in Advance,
