# Distribution List Configuration

This procedure summarizes the steps for allowing distribution lists as a user option, and for configuring the available types and functions of distribution lists in a server.

1. Customize an FCOS to include some or all of the following feature bits, as applicable:

   - 20 (make messages)

   - 24 (give messages)

   - 32 (make to user distribution list)

   - 33 (give to user distribution list)

   - 34 (make to master distribution list)

   - 35 (give to master distribution list)

   - 36 (auto-receipt for user dist list msgs)

   - 40 (receive messages from other users)

   - 44 (receive user dist list messages)

   - 45 (receive master dist list messages)

   - 70 (User Options Menu)

   - 74 (create or modify user distribution list)

Note: Feature bit 74 alone does not allow all distribution lists to be modified; you must also allow change rights in the mailbox configuration.

2. Customize an LCOS to include the desired limits parameters from the table below:

1. - Max Number of Distribution Lists

   - Max Members Per Distribution List

   - Max Recipients Count

   - Min Number of Recipients for Receipt Summary

   - Other limits parameters as required

3. Customize a GCOS to include a group shared by all members of the same distribution list.

4. Configure the appropriate mailboxes, entering the correct FCOS, LCOS, GCOS and allowing review and change rights for distribution lists as required.

After mailboxes have been appropriately configured, distribution lists (including master distribution lists) can be created and maintained from the mailboxes. In addition, you can create distribution lists for mailbox owners (and master distribution lists) from the List Maintenance Menu.
