Then in effect, this is a personal address list, not a distribution list. DL's (in my mind anyway) can be used by anyone, inside or outside the company (yes, yes, yes, as long as they have permission to), and when the recipient gets the message that person sees the DL as the TO or CC address, not a bunch of individual addresses (like you would with an expanded personal distribution list).
And NO I'm not getting into a tinkling contest with anyone, I'm trying to wrap my head around this so I can understand it better. What I call a "distribution list" may not be what someone else calls a distribution list, and vice versa. If anyone doesn't believe that you can't "loose something in translation" when everyone is speaking English, has never seen the interpretation of "SECURE THE BUILDING" when addressing the military services of the US.

Trick question? <g> The message would be delivered to the individual recipients, because you can't send mail to a PF DL. The PF DL is expanded before the message is sent, so the external sender would have a list of all the recipients of the message (if it wasn't sent to the DL on the bcc line), and to "send to the DL" they'd do a reply to all or compile the list of intended recipients manually.
