Distribution Lists

I think I recall seing this question asked before, but I don't recall seeing
an answer.

Is there a way to force/allow a distribution list(DL) to be used in one
specific field over another.

The only example I can offer is a company DL. I would like to tie it to the
BCC field in email, so as to avoid the nagging problem of users who insist on
clicking the "reply" button. Is this feasible via Exchange or scripting or
otherwise?

Thanks.
 
No. A DL is just a list of addresses. It's up to you to decide how you use
it to send messages.
 
Is it possible to rearrange the header fields so that the BCC field shows up
first for everyone, or is this client specific only?? I'm trying... :-)
 
Only by creating and deploying a custom message form, which would have
other, potentially undesireable effects.

Sue,

out of curiosity, Can you give me an example of one or two of these
undesirable effects. If the benefits outweigh the risks, I may be so
inclined to give it a shot. Our biggest problem here are our own "corporate
spammers," moreso than actual outside spammers. I never realized how many
people were into sports until one user sent out an unwarranted albeiit
friendly bet, commenced between sites.

A custom message form sends a Winmail.dat part that includes all
attachments, embedded in such a way that non-Outlook users can't read them.
Very risky.

issue needs to be addressed with user education, policies, and appropriate
sanctions.
