QUESTION POSED ON: 09 May 2007
We have trouble sending email to a distribution list if it contains both 'SMTP' and 'EX' addresses. When the 'EX' addresses are removed, there is no problem. Do we need to use separate lists for different address types?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
What version of Exchange are you using? The "EX" address type is X.500-based and used internally by Exchange Server … is there a reason you're not just using all SMTP addresses?
