Basically, you have to add the email enabled security group (from AD) to any SharePoint group that is part of the site. It is a weird SharePoint foible which I hope will be fixed in the next release.

Regards, Nathan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nathan Rhodes Sent: Wednesday, 18 February 2009 12:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Sending Alerts to Groups Hi All I am having some issues setting up an alert to send to a group. Ideally we would like to send to a SharePoint Group but this does look like a limitation as SharePoint groups don't show up in the people picker when setting the alert, bit of a flaw if you ask me as users can't use existing groups they have created to send alerts to, they have to get us to do it but we can live with that. Ok, so I've read the blog below and it states that you can use email enabled security groups to set up the alerts. I have gone through this process and setup a security group and given it a mailbox and email address and added some users to the group. I have than setup an alert on a document library to send an alert at any change. When I setup the alert the users get the email advising that the alert has been setup but when any changes are made to the document library they don't receive them. http://blog.gavin-adams.com/2007/10/26/sending-alerts-to-groups-in-share point-2007/ Has anyone had this issue?
