Update Distribution list

I have several contacts plus a couple of distribution lists. When I update a
contact with a new e mail address, the distribution list does not update.

Is there a way to distribution list update when the contact is updated?

Thanks

You need to open the DL, and click the button 'Update Now' (or similiar).

In theory. But it rarely works.

What a surprise :-)

Terry, that's why we usually recommend using categories instead of DLs.
