I established a group in Outlkook Express version 6 - but when I send an
e-mail to the group it does not go through. It appears correctly in my sent folder but none of the recipients get the e-mail. How do I fix this??? Thanks, Jack |

There could be a few reasons. Do you get any Undelivered Mail message from
your postmaster? ISPs limit the number of people you can send to in one mailing, so that is something to ask your mail server about. Here are some general instructions for creating a Group. See if your criteria matches. To create a group of contacts: You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at once. Simply create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then, just type the group name in the To box when you send e-mail. 1.. In the Address Book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New on the toolbar, and then click New Group. 2.. The Properties dialog box opens. In the Group Name box, type the name of the group. 3.. There are several ways to add people to the group: a.. To add a person from your Address Book list, click Select Members, and then click a name from the Address Book list. b.. To add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your Address Book, type the person's name and e-mail address in the lower half of the Properties dialog box, and then click Add. c.. To add a person to both the group and your Address Book, click New Contact and fill in the appropriate information. d.. To use a directory service, click Select Members, and then click Find. Select a directory service from the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your Address Book. 4.. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined. Note a.. To view a list of your groups separately from the Address Book listings, in the Address Book, on the View menu, make sure that Folders and Groups is selected. b.. You can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to more than one group. If you want to send to a group without all the addresses being shown to each recipient, open the Address Book and make a new entry. Enter the group name in the Display field, but use your address. (Some ISPs require a legitimate address in the To line, and the recipients will know it is from the group). Click the To button | Enter the group name using your address in the To field | Enter the Group in the BCC field. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Jack" wrote in message ...

Hi Jack,
Are you using your valid address on the To: line? Many ISP's require this to validate a message. In this case you should receive a copy of the message. A common method is to create an address book entry for yourself with an appropriate display name (name of the group, for example). Use this entry for the To: line. Enter the group entries on the Bcc: line. Recipients will see only the display name, although it will be your address. A message rule could be used for the display name (People) to avoid filling your OE Inbox with copies of the messages sent to the group. For example, it could be rerouted to another folder, the Deleted Items folder or deleted from the server (care should be taken in this case to avoid deleting other messages). Create a Message Rule In Outlook Express Tools | Message Rules Mail Note: "people" can be the display name or a full e-mail address. The full address would be less likely to interfere with another rule. Tip: A condition can be reversed in the Advanced section. 1. Select the Conditions for your rule: Where the From line contains people Where the Subject line contains specific words Where the message body contains specific words Where the To line contains people Where the CC line contains people Where the message is marked as priority Where the message is from the specified account Where the message size is more than the size Where the message has an attachment Where the message is secure For all messages Tip: Most rules work best with "stop processing more rules" also selected. 2. Select the Actions for your rule: Move it to the specific folder Copy it to the specific folder Delete it Forward it to people Highlight it with color Flag it Mark it as read Mark the message as watched or ignored Reply with message Stop processing more rules Do not Download it from the server Delete it from server 3.

Correction
A valid address may be required on the To: line, but not necessarily your own. -- Tim K. aka Kuay Tim MS-MVP - Outlook Express Lynnwood, WA * "Kuay Tim" wrote in message ...

If a copy of the message appears in your Sent Items folder, the problem lies
outside of OE, Jack. How many addressees are in the Group? If you include yourself in the Group, do you receive the message? How about if you include your address in the TO line? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Security, Shell/User) Jack wrote: I established a group in Outlkook Express version 6 - but when I send an e-mail to the group it does not go through.

The group has 20 e-mail addresses in it. It does appear in my sent box - but
no one actually receives it. My srevice provider is Cox. I included two of my own e-mail addresses (one aol, one gmail) in the group and neither e-mail addresses receives the e-mail. Thanks so much.

Perhaps your ISP blocks messages sent to so many people. Try sending only
to yourself and see if you get the message. steve "Jack" wrote in message ... The group has 20 e-mail addresses in it. It does appear in my sent box - but no one actually receives it.
