Can you send mail from a distribution list

In Microsoft 365, you can send an email from a distribution list (also known as a distribution group or DL) to a group of recipients. Here's how:

Method 1: Using the Outlook client

  1. Open Outlook and go to the "Home" tab.
  2. Click on the "New Email" button.
  3. In the "To" field, start typing the name of the distribution list. As you type, Outlook will suggest the list. Select it from the dropdown list.
  4. Add any additional recipients you want to include in the "To" field.
  5. Compose your email as usual.
  6. Click the "Send" button to send the email to the distribution list.

Method 2: Using the Outlook web app

  1. Log in to the Outlook web app and click on the "New Email" button.
  2. In the "To" field, start typing the name of the distribution list. As you type, Outlook will suggest the list. Select it from the dropdown list.
  3. Add any additional recipients you want to include in the "To" field.
  4. Compose your email as usual.
  5. Click the "Send" button to send the email to the distribution list.

Method 3: Using PowerShell

If you're comfortable with PowerShell, you can use the following command to send an email from a distribution list:

Send-MailMessage -To <DistributionListName> -Subject "Your subject" -Body "Your email body"

Replace <DistributionListName> with the actual name of your distribution list.
