Do an export of the DL's to a CSV file, review the extract for any high level users (GS-10 or up, O-5 or above, or the rake of Chief Petty officer or above); mark these with a "do not delete" flag. Any lists that have zero users, delete outright; if the list has three or fewer members, hide the Dl from the Address list and see who screams. For the high level users and the remaining lists, assign an owner and let them take care of it through Outlook.
Do a one time recapitulation of the membership of the distribution list addressed to the distribution list so the members can see what lists they are on; just like the radiomen have to on a yearly basis.

CIV [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 10:38 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 5.5 Distribution List Clean Up I would like to clean up our ever growing list of distribution lists. I am looking for a field such as 'last used' that I can extract to know when the last time the list was used but don't find such as field. This would help me determine which lists are no longer active. I would be happy to use the "Last Modified Date" but I don't see it in listed as an extractable field. How do others manage their lists?
