# Configure for Name and Greeting Broadcast

The mailbox used for broadcasting greetings or names can be a standard mailbox, broadcast mailbox, or tree mailbox.

To use a distribution list for broadcasting greetings or names:

1. Customize an FCOS to include the following feature bits, as applicable:

   - 174 (define broadcast greeting mailbox) in the FCOS assigned to the mailbox that will broadcast greetings.

   - 175 (receive broadcast greeting) in the FCOS assigned to the mailbox that will receive broadcast greetings.

   - 178 (define broadcast name mailbox) in the FCOS assigned to the mailbox that will broadcast names.

   - 179 (receive broadcast name) in the FCOS assigned to the mailbox that will receive broadcast names.

2. Create DistributionLists 1 and 9 to contain the greeting or name broadcast list.

To broadcast messages and greetings to the same list of recipients, make Distribution List 1 for broadcasting messages and keep Distribution List 9 for broadcasting greetings and names. Make Distribution Lists 1 and 9 identical in content.
