SUMMARY
A Microsoft Exchange administrator can configure distribution lists so selected users can manage list membership using one of the Microsoft Exchange Windows clients or Outlook. Before a user can add and remove addresses from a list, he or she must first have the appropriate permissions to that list.

Granting Permissions to a List Manager
To grant the permissions needed by a user who will perform distribution list management, do the following:
 * 1) Start the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program.
 * 2) Select the distribution list name in the Recipients container.
 * 3) Click the Modify button in the Owner section and select a user from the list box to be an owner of this distribution list.

Managing a Distribution List from a Windows Client or Outlook
To manage a distribution list (DL) from a Microsoft Exchange Windows client or Outlook:
 * 1) From the Tools menu, choose Address Book.
 * 2) From the Global Address List or the Recipients container for the site containing the DL, select the DL to be modified.
 * 3) Bring up the properties for the DL, by double-clicking the selected item or by choosing Properties from the File menu.
 * 4) Click the Modify Members button to bring up the members of the DL.
 * 5) If you have the correct permissions on the DL, you should be able to modify the DL.
