Just use whatever SMTP address is automatically created for the Public Folder to subscribe to the mailing list. If it is something really heinous, change the SMTP address to something nicer. You'll probably need to give yourself send-as permissions on the folder and wait the requisite two hours before subscribing, as many mailing lists require a confirming e-mail in response from the originating address.

I don't see anything relevant in the faq. I guess it's the setup I'm interested in. As I create folders, names are assigned to them. What's the reccommended way to subscribe to these mailing lists? Set my smtp address to the name of the mailing list for subscription and subsequently create the folder to catch future E-Mails? -Yanek. > -----Original Message----- > From: Hunter, Lori [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 2:38 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: Public Folders & Mailing Lists > > > Yay!!!
