Using Distribution Lists
Distribution lists provide a way to use a single destination number to send
messages to a group of people. You can send or forward a message to a list
just as you would to an extension. When you send a message to a list, it is
sent to everyone on the list.
You can create up to 100 distribution lists, and each list can have up to 64
entries. An entry can be an extension of any kind, including virtual or
workgroup pilots, or another distribution list, so in effect there is no
practical limit to the number of people to which you can send a single
message.
When you create lists at your station, they are your personal distribution
lists—every extension can have its own lists. There may also be system
distribution lists created by your system administrators.
