# Create a Master Distribution List

This procedure describes how to create a master distribution list at the server maintenance console. A master distribution list is created the same way as a mailbox users distribution list. By making the list in the administrator’s mailbox, the list is then a master distribution list available for all mailboxes to use.

To create a master distribution list:

1. Make sure the administrator’s mailbox FCOS is appropriately configured for distribution lists.

- Ensure the FCOS supports distribution lists (see View FCOS Information).

2. From the Main Menu, select (M) Mailbox Maintenance, and then (L) List Maintenance.

3. Modify the distribution list in the administrator’s mailbox. All of the following are valid members:

- Mailbox number

- M and a remote mailbox with a telephone number; the remote mailbox and telephone number are separated by a comma (for example, M3788,4283788)

- N and a remote mailbox for networking

- P and a remote mailbox with a network prefix for networking

- T and a telephone number for call placement

- D and a mailbox owner distribution list number, except in a broadcast mailbox

- S and a master distribution list number, except in a broadcast mailbox
