Personal distribution lists
When mailbox owners create PDLs from their telephones, those lists are
available only to the creator. Each PDL allows the user to send a recorded
message to all the mailboxes contained in the list. A mailbox owner can
create up to 99 PDLs, each containing a maximum of 200 addresses. An
address can be, for example, a local or remote mailbox, an SDL.
Comparison of static and dynamic SDLs
A static SDL cannot be converted automatically to a dynamic SDL and vice
versa; you must delete the SDL in the original format and recreate it in
the alternate format.
Static SDL
Can contain a maximum of 999 entries. Has no restriction on the number of
Can contain local users, remote users,
and other (nested) SDLs.
Requires maintenance as new users
join the company, or move between
departments and job functions.
Shared distribution lists and nested SDLs
SDLs are similar to PDLs, except that they are created by administrators.
Maintaining a comprehensive list of SDLs optimizes your server capacity
because it minimizes the need for mailbox owners to create their own PDLs
and facilitates the use of broadcast messages.
You can "nest" or include all members of an existing SDL in a larger SDL.
You do not need to add each member individually; you add the existing
SDL to the new one the same way you would add an individual member.
Members who are included on more than one nested SDL will still receive
each message only once. For more information on how to nest one SDL in
another SDL, refer to CallPilot Manager online Help.
Each SDL adds one address to a message recipient list, regardless of the number
of addresses in the SDL. Each PDL adds the total number of addresses in the
PDL to a message recipient list. For example, an SDL with ten entries adds one
address, while a PDL with ten entries adds ten addresses.
To be able to use SDLs, a mailbox owner must belong to a mailbox class
that provides permission to use SDLs.
