Identification

A distribution list is a set of users and resources that can be addressed as a group. Each distribution list has a unique name and is used to address a message to every user and resource on the list.

Distinguished Name
Displays the GroupWise^® distribution list object using the complete name, or path, from the Distribution List object to the [Root] of the Directory tree, such as MyGroupList.doc.eng.novell.

Post Office
Displays the domain and post office this resource belongs to.

Description
Enter information to help identify the purpose of this distribution list.

Visibility
By default, distribution lists are visible in the GroupWise Address Book only for users in the post office that the distribution list belongs to. Change the visibility level for this distribution list in order to make it visible to users at the domain or system level, or to prevent it from being visible to any users.

Replication Override
By default, distribution lists are replicated throughout your GroupWise system based on the selected visibility level. With the default visibility level, distribution lists are visible in the GroupWise Address Book for local post office users only and are not replicated to other post offices.

If you set Visibility to Domain, the distribution list is replicated to all post offices in the domain, but not to post offices belonging to other domains. If you set Visibility to System, the distribution list is replicated to all post offices in your GroupWise system. This default behavior corresponds to the Replicate According to Visibility setting.

Select Replicate Everywhere Regardless of Visibility if you want the distribution list replicated throughout your GroupWise system regardless of the selected visibility level. With this setting, the distribution list is made available in all post offices, although it is still only visible in the GroupWise Address Book according to the selected visibility level. The availability of the distribution list in all post offices means that it can be nested into other distribution lists that are visible in any post office, and that users in any post office can manually specify the distribution list name in the To field of an item.
