Default reply-to to a distribution list address

Good Morning All,
We have a Distribution group called [email protected] and a user which belongs to this group called [email protected]
Is there a way to set the default from/reply to address for this general user to the email address of [email protected] ?
Thanks much for your time.
Alessandro.

Address Book Distribution List Settings Don't Stick

Is there a bug in Address Book for distribution lists? When I attempt to edit an address book distribution by changing the default email, the setting does not stick. I can select a bold any address for a contact with multiple addresses, but then when I go back in and look at the distribution list, it goes back to the previous email and not the one I selected.

I was having a very similar problem. For some individuals, I could change the preferred e-mail address in edit distribution list, but not for others. After some messing around, I discovered that the only people whose settings didn't stick were those whose first e-mail listed in the Edit Distribution List sheet was a facebook.com e-mail. If they had a Facebook e-mail that wasn't first in the list, I could change them.
The order of e-mail addresses in the Edit Distribution list and the individual cards wasn't the same. e.g. I couldn't reset my husband's e-mail address because in Edit Distribution, his facebook.com address was listed first. But it was listed last on his actual card.
I fixed things by going to System Preferences, Mail Contacts & Calendars, locating my Facebook account in the list, and unchecking "contacts." The facebook.com addresses disappeared in contacts, and the changes I made in Edit Distribution list stuck.

Unable to edit distribution list in address book?

Under address Book edit, the edit distribution list is greyed out. I have several groups that i need to correct the default email, but since I have upgraded to Lion, I have been unable to do this. These are not smart groups. I was able to do this with Snow Leopard but I cannot

And icloud has its own (issues) and Community.
There are support pages for every product, use the tab "Support"
or go to: http;//www.apple.com/support/mail /cloud /lion /macbookpro
and this is NOT a forum devoted to macbook or laptops. but to 65lb towers

Is there an easy way of creating a distribution list from an email with multiple addresses? Those addresses are not in your contacts already, and don't need to be.

I want to be able to take all the email addresses someone else has used to distribute an email and create the same distribution list for myself for future use. I don't want to add all those people to anywhere in my contacts list. I just want them to be in my "new distribution list", like "soccer families", etc. I tried to copy and paste, but didn't get anywhere. Maybe I was close, or maybe it isn't possible. Thoughts?

I don't want them in contacts because they are simply a related group (like my sons current soccer team). People I may never need to email again after a sports season. I don't want to have to have these people in my contacts permanently.
You don't. When the season is over, delete them.
But, the text clipping should work.
The next IOS should have a feature "create mailing list from distribution list". A fast and simple way to retain a distribution list from an email you received. People get copied all the time using distribution lists they may want to reuse easily, like school, sports or work groups. Oh well.
How is that any different from adding them to Contacts? Here's the feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
There is a set of Mail Scripts that has a function to Add Addresses from an email to any group. But, it doesn't work with Mountain Lion.

How do I set up a distribution list with multiple email addresses?

I can't figure out how to do this - I am a .mac member and really have no idea how to use the desktop mail function but I am assuming that I need to set up the distribution list in mail since I can't find anywhere to do it on .mac.
I am really sorry for this lame question - is it a problem with my ISP (sbc) or is it my operating system - 10.3.9?

Welcome to the discussions, CassC.
You may need to re-post in the pre-Tiger mail forum.
But what I THINK you need to do is use your Address Book, and make a group. Add to the group (by selecting, dragging and dropping) the contacts you need in the distribution list. Now in Mail use the name of the group in the To: or Cc: or Bcc: field to send them all mail.

Can I set a default Reply-From email address on my iPad/iPhone?

In Mail for the Mac, there is an option under the Compose settings to set a default Reply-From email address for all your emails, so that, regardless of which account any email came from, you will always reply by default from one specific address. Is there a way to set a default Reply-From address on the iPad/iPhone?

[EDIT: Sorry, mis-read question. Ignore me.]

Giving users control of their own distribution list control to add or remove external email addresses from their list

We are a Exchange 2010 SP3 shop, we have distribution groups (with over 200 email addresses ) from another email system which has only external email addresses (i.e [email protected] [email protected] and so on …..)
We want to import these groups into exchange. we called microsoft, they said create mail contacts for each address and put those in a Distribution Group. I know this will work.
Our goal is to have the user create / maintain / add / remove external their own email addresses (Not the IT department)
There must be many companies whose requirements match ours. Are there third party tools that would handle creation of distribution list?
Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated ! THank you

I wouldn't give the ability to create contacts to everyone in the environment because it will become mess at some point of time and IT will have to jump to control it
anyway so why don’t from the start...
I would give this to certain people like Leads or Managers of the groups under certain IT Policy so it will be still under control and people
will think before asking their superior to create them and someone gets responsibility to manage these contacts...
Though here is the more specific article on how to delegate creating and editing contacts...

When sending an email I used to be able to add a distribution list from my contacts, I now have to add each email address individually, does anyone know how I can add the whole list?

When sending an email I used to be able to click on a distribution list in my contacts and it would add all the email addresses, I now have to add each email address individually and this takes a lot of time. Could someone tell me how I can add a distibution list/group to my emails?

Barney,
I have four groups.
I just typed the name of one of those groups in the To field on the iPhone's email, and received:
Invalid Address
"<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address. Do you want to send it anyway?
I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Edit Distribution List in Address Book is gray

After updating to Lion OS 10.7, the Edit Distribution List menu selection is grayed out. How do we edit Distribution List (Groups) with contacts with multiple email addresses?

The key is that the Contact List is now being kept in the Cloud & you cannot edit the Distribution List in your Mac's Address Book.
Easy Fix:
Quit your Address Book
Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
Uncheck the CONTACTS icon
Close Sys Pref
Open Address Book - Edit your Distribution Lists (No longer Greyed out)
Quit Address Book
Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
Check the CONTACTS icon
You should be good to go!
Hope this helps!

Address Book "Edit Distribution List" not working in Lion 10.7.2

I have been told by people in my "Groups" that I am sending to the wrong e-mail addresses. I checked and sure enough so I went to edit the distribution list for that group and it's greyed out. It worked prior to this update. My wifes is still using 10.7.1 and edit didtribution list is not greyed out.....anyone having the same issue or any ideas where it is now or how to re-enable it....or is it just broken? Also I am contented into iCloud.

To add to my original post.... My wifes OS was 10.7.1 and I just finished the update to 10.7.2 and signed into iCloud. I first transfered iCal but left Address Book. When I went into Address Book and checked the Distribution List it was not greyed out. Next I transfered Address Book to iCloud and checked Dist List and it was greyed out. Next I removed Address Book from iCloud (leaving a copy of it on the computer), restarted AB and checked to see if DL was still greyed and it was not. So no fixes here but if you want the functionality of the DL you could turn off Address Book in iCloud temp until they come up with a fix. Important: if you turn off Address Book from iCloud be sure to leave a copy on your puter and of course before doing any of this make a Archive Backup of Address Book. I guess at this point it'll just be a waiting game until a fix comes out. Cheers, Neil

Address Book Groups - Distribution List problems

Recently upgraded to 10.6 and now on 10.6.3 - 2 Problems which are probably related:
1 - I cannot save changes to an edited Distribution List- I select the desired email address (ie it's in bold) and then click OK. When I go back to edit the list the changes have not been saved and it seems to randomly make changes to the selections.
2 - I have a (Smart) Group in Address Book and when I use that group in Mail the wrong email is selected for some of the members of the group - ie the emails used by Mail does not always match the selections in the Distribution List
Used to work fine in 10.5

Oh no!
until now I though, it was my fault, but it seems to be a bug. I have the same problem with the distribution list. In my system, the mails are allways sent to the upper emailadress, even if the lower adress is highlighted.
Did anybody file allready a bug-report to apple?
Regards
Robert

How can I edit an Address Book Distribution List that will not display in Lion?

The option to edit an Address Book Distribution List (to select preferred emails for certain contacts) only appears as light print and does not respond to selection. I have a number of Address Groups that display and funtion properly in Mail, but since installing Lion, the problem described occurs. Any fix? Thanks.

The key is that the Contact List is now being kept in the Cloud & you cannot edit the Distribution List in your Mac's Address Book.
The fix is:
Quit your Address Book
Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
Uncheck the CONTACTS icon
Close Sys Pref

Check the CONTACTS icon
You should be good to go!

Use iCloud and Address Book Distribution List disappear. Why?

Prior to upgrading to Lion, I was able to edit my distribution lists in Address Book on my Mac; while I am not sure if the same worked after I upgraded to Lion, I'm fairly certain that the main change happened when I went to iCloud, which appears to have made significant changes to my Mac apps. I can no longer edit the distribution lists in Address Book and there does not appear to be a facility to edit the distribution lists in Apple Mail (the issue is with those in the distribution who have multiple email addresses).
Anyone got an answer for this?

Okay! Lesson learned! I need to search more deeply in the Discussions forums! The answer to my question found under https://discussions.apple.com/message/17129766#17129766

Using Address Book, distribution list contact does not appear

Using 10.7.4, added a name to an address book distribution list but it does not appear in the email "to" address. Had added to people previously and it worked fine but not with the last entry. Verified that the contact's name, address, etc. all correct and does display in the distribution list but not in the "to" field of an email. Very strange!

The key is that the Contact List is now being kept in the Cloud & you cannot edit the Distribution List in your Mac's Address Book.
The fix is:
Quit your Address Book
Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
Uncheck the CONTACTS icon
Close Sys Pref
Open Address Book - Edit your Distribution Lists (No longer Greyed out)
Quit Address Book
Go to  Menu --> Sys Preferences --> iCloud
Check the CONTACTS icon
You should be good to go!

Address Book Distribution List Size Limit

I can't seem to find any information on the limits, if any, of the size (in number of email addresses) of a Distribution List. I have a list that currently contains 148 entries. In attempting to send out to this DL the other day, it failed several times until I broke the list roughly in half and did two separate mailings.
As this list will grow, it'd be great to know what sort of size limit there is on a DL, if there is one. Or could the problem I am experiencing be with limitations imposed by my service provider?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

As Euchre stated, the issue is probably ISP limits related.
Call them a find out what your per email and daily limits are. Apple Mail really is not designed for "mass" mailing so I recommend using an app specifically designed for mass mailing.
Once you know the limits, use a bulk mail app like MaxBulk Mailer (http://www.maxprog.com/) - Mac World gives it 4.5 mice. It automates and schedules batches of emails with options that Apple Mail can not reproduce and is very intuitive.
e.g. You want to send a mass mail to 200 recipients. If your ISP limits are 30 recipients per email, and 500 emails per day, they you set up your MaxBulk Mailer to send out 20 emails at a time, every hour, over 10 hours ( I chose 20 emails at a time so you could still send out single emails from Apple Mail)
MaxBulk mailer is free to try - adds a tag at the end to advertise its use, but once you get a license the tag is not added.
Hope this helps.
