Default distribution list or group?

I wouldn't, for the following reasons:

1) If a user changes addresses, you have to update the DL as well as the contact. Will you remember to do that?

2) If you send to two DLs, any people on both may get the message twice.

I'd mark people with categories instead. That way, you can use a view filter for categories Red or Green and get one list of everyone who is on one or the other. You can then select contacts and perform a mail merge to send individual email messages that will be more likely to pass a spam filter than with a DL sent Bcc.

If I were in your Capezios, I'd set up two distribution lists so that you can
easily send to one group or both without having to select individuals each
time.

set up my contact folder?
