Add external contacts to my distribution group

Required: Before you get started, make sure you've already created a distribution group and added external contacts to your address book.

- Go to recipients, and then select groups.
- Select the name of the Distribution list and
Edit. - In the new window, select membership and
Add. - Choose the contact(s) and select add.
