Outlook Distribution List

A client of mine is having trouble with Outlook 2003. It works fine when sending to individuals but when he tries to send to a distribution list everyone in that list receives five copies of the email. I've tried removing the list and recreating it. I've scanned for viruses and exploits and found nothing. I have no idea what to do? Any ideas? Thanks, MAC

MAC, I do essentially the same thing using OE and experienced the same problem. Work around fix that I've found is to send the mail (in order to get it in the outbox, mine's set up to service mail every few minutes), go somewhere (I go into inbox, don't think it'd matter) and select send/recieve. For whatever reason, that seems to mail a single copy and stop as it should, whereas, if I leave it to be sent automatically, multiple copies get sent. Dunno just why, but works for me. BTDT. HTH.

MAC, neglected to say that on mine, I get a popup warning saying my SMTP server hasn't responded in 60 seconds and asking if I want to wait. I've found that if I do nothing at all, it respomds and ends as it should. HTH. Ed in Texas.
