Use the AddressEntry.DisplayType property to determine whether you have a contact or some other type of recipient. If it's a DL, you can try to return the DL by name from the default Contacts folder and then use its GetMember method to return each DL member as a Recipient.

The SMS Link functionality is not exposed in the Outook object model. IIRC, it's a separate add-in. If you want to develop a gateway that uses the SMS Link feature in Outlook 2007, you would need to contact Micrsooft about becoming a provider.

If your wireless provider supports sending messages to , that's just another email address to Outlook.
