What is a Distribution List?
All other distribution lists are ones created by the Information Technology division that appear in the Global Address Book in Microsoft Outlook.
Typically the membership of and access to send to these distribution lists are managed by the owner of the distribution list. You can view the owner by opening the distribution list's entry in the Global Address Book. Contact the owner for information about being added to the distribution list or getting access to send to the distribution list.

What are contact groups?
Contact groups are like personal distribution lists that only exist in your personal email account. You find them under your People/Contacts folder in Microsoft Outlook. These differ from distribution lists in that YOU are the only person who can send emails to the contact group.
