Outlook email lists and agents

Big_Z

Is there any way to make an Outlook DL email list a recipient of an agent?

rmoff

Agents can send to email addresses ... whether those emails addresses are a single recipient or mailing list is of no concern to the Agent nor how they're configured.

Or am I misunderstanding what you're asking?

It doesn't seem to like the it when we use the name of the mailing list, ABC_DL_LIST_OF_USERS.  That is what is in Outlook, do I need to set up something within OBIEE that points to the Outlook list?

rmoff

I have no idea about Outlook per se. Speak to your Outlook/Exchange admins, and ask what the fully qualified email address would be to send email to one of these lists. Then put that email address as the Agent recipient.

Worth a try.  Thanks.

The little I remember about Outlook / Exchange goes in @rmoff direction.

A list name has a meaning only for Outlook / Exchange, but doesn't have any outside. So you must have an email address associated with it, or a forward or something that read emails on address xxx@xxx.xxx and forward to list ABCD.

But all that is mail server business, OBIEE require an email address.
