Jim, I find that DL's for this usually does not work as each committee members get an email that they reply unknowingly that their colleague on the committee has already answered it.
Cheers Paul Standards are like toothbrushes, everybody agrees you should have one, but no one wants to use yours -----Original Message----- From: Jim Helfer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 3:59 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Opinions on distribution list vs. public discussion folder vs. m ailbox A user came to me with a request to set up a new GAL Distribution list for the members of a commitee, for the purpose of having a place that other employees can e-mail questions and have them addressed by members of the commitee (it's a CAD Standards commitee, and people have been using the excuse that they don't know who to ask when they have questions about the proper rules). I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to set up a public folder that people could post to, or just have a single mailbox that would be monitored by whomever is interested? Or is a DL the best solution for this? I guess what I am worried about is a flood of people wanting me to create Public distribution lists for every comittee or project. Besides being a bit of a hassle to maintain the proper membership, we only have about 100 "real mailboxes" in the GAL now, and it might be confusing for people if there are so many distribution lists mixed in there. Just wondering how other people handle this. I know the answer is "however management thinks best serves the business needs of the organization", but the boss is going to ask me the best way to set this up. Thanks for any ideas Jim Helfer _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************************************** The information contained in this message or any of its attachments may be confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s).
