Yes. Just be sure to set up sender restrictions so any joe on the internet can't use your distribution groups.

Now I can create distribution lists in outlook that I can send out text notifications to customers manually when we receive our notifications, but how can I automate this? I would like to have distribution lists for each cell, and if that particular cell goes out, it automatically notifies a distribution list of users connected to that cell. We are using Exchange/outlook for email, but open to other suggestions.

We would like a one time pay vs. pay per message. What we would like to accomplish is create a group message for network status alerts that go out via text message to customers that wish to receive such.
