• If you are creating a distribution list for a specific purpose, such as sending out a newsletter or announcement, include that information in the name of the distribution list.
• You can add any number of people to a distribution list. However, if you add too many people, your emails may be blocked by spam filters.
• Distribution lists are great for sending emails to multiple people at once.

If you are sending sensitive information, you may want to consider using a different method of communication.
