Limitations on distribution lists
Introduction
This topic presents an overview of factors that affect the
creation and use of distribution lists.
Message number and
size
The number of addresses to which a user can successfully send
a message simultaneously depends on the size of the message,
as shown in the following table.
Note:
Each system distribution list is one address, regardless of
the number of entries on the list, while each entry on a personal
distribution list is one address. Therefore, a system distribution
list with 10 entries is 1 address, while a personal distribution
list with 10 entries is 10 addresses.
Restrictions on
distribution list
numbers
The following restrictions are placed on distribution list
numbers:
• A system distribution list cannot be assigned a number
between 1 and 9. These numbers are reserved for personal
distribution lists.
• Each distribution list must have a unique distribution list
number.
• A distribution list number must not conflict with any
dialing plan prefixes or codes. (These are explained further
in the description of the List Number field on page 11-12.)
This includes the Network Wide Broadcast Prefix, defined
in the Network Configuration screen.
• A distribution list number cannot be the same as any
mailbox number, including the broadcast mailbox number.
The default broadcast mailbox number is 5555.
