Chapter 14 Configuring Distribution Lists
Configuring Public Distribution Lists
Configuring Public Distribution Lists
Use this procedure to create or modify public distribution lists.
Note Use the TUI or GUI to create private distribution lists. No CLI commands are available for private
distribution lists.
Beginning in release 3.2, you can add nonsubscribers to distribution lists. This enables the delivery of
voice messages to people who do not have a mailbox on the system by using a single address to reference
a list of addresses when sending the message. By using this single aggregated address, a subscriber can
send a single message to all the recipients included in the distribution list.
When nonsubscriber numbers are submitted for addition to a distribution list, they are checked against
the nonsubscriber restriction table. If a nonsubscriber address is restricted, it is not added to the
distribution list. If you change a restriction table after a list has been created, the system does not
revalidate distribution lists. Instead, distribution lists are revalidated when they is used to send outgoing
mail to nonsubscriber addresses and any addresses that are restricted are removed from the list of
recipients. In addition, there is no change in the way the existing system sends the message. The system
still checks the nonsubscriber restriction table before sending a message to a nonsubscriber, future
message queues, a backup restore, and so on.
Creating distribution lists Created and deleted by the subscriber
using TUI menus.
Implicit list creation is available for
both public and private lists. If a
subscriber tries to add a member to a
nonexistent list, the system creates
the list and adds the member to it. If
a subscriber tries to record the
spoken name for a nonexistent list,
the system creates the list and records
the spoken name. In both cases, the
subscriber hears a prompt stating that
a new list was created.
Created by the system.
No TUI options are available for
subscribers to create or delete
distribution lists.
Removing members of a
list
The subscriber removes a list
member by name or extension,
similar to the dial-by-name and
extension flow for addressing voice
messages.
The system assigns a sequence of
numbers to the list members’
names and extensions. The
subscriber presses the sequence
number to remove the member.
Adding private lists to
another list
A private list may be added to
another private list owned by the
same subscriber.
Not permitted.
