Distribution List
 
I have a large distribution list that is listed in my Outlook. When I send
messages to this list, some email addresses are included that are not listed
in my Distribution list. I have scoured the list and these email entries do
not exist. What can I do to rid the Distribution list of these phantom emails.

I select the distribution list from Outlook in the "To" section of the email
message, write the message and press "Send." This activates Comcast's server
to send the message. I us Comcast as My ISP.

If you are selecting the DL from the To: field, then you are using
autocompletion. If so that's your problem. Delete the reference to the DL in
the autocompletion cache. Run "Update Now" on the DL itself and select it
from the Outlook Address Book when you create a message.

Outlook's autocompletion feature is full of little gotcha's like this.
