First off, I have this message here because I could not find a forum for Exchange 2010. Please excuse this.
Alright, I'm not very versed in Exchange, (learning as I go) so please forgive me for the lack of proper details/ lingo.
I'm trying to create email distribution groups for my church.
We need to be able to send a single email to a group, and have it forward out to everyone in that group.
For example: if I send an email to 'deacons@church.com', the email needs to go to every email address (even personal) that is in the 'deacons' distribution group.
So far, I can make it where ONLY people on the church network can send to the distribution groups, and then, ONLY emails that are created FROM the church network can receive them.
This is some headway, obviously, but I am just at a loss as to how to 'open' this group up to the 'general public'.
I need to have the distribution groups based off of the server, and NOT people' individual email/ Outlook accounts, because members of the congregation need to be able to send messages to these emails as well. I can't create individual distribution groups for 1000+ people Outlooks.
Any help would be spectacular.
