About Contact Distribution Lists

If you specify a contacts distribution list as an attendee on the Scheduling tab of a Microsoft Outlook calendar item, thenSSSE resolves the distribution list into its individual members when synchronizing the calendar item to the Siebel application. SSSE does not preserve the distribution list name during this operation. If the calendar item is modified in Siebel Business Applications, then the individual attendee names replace the original distribution list when the item is synchronized back to Microsoft Exchange. This functionality applies to distribution lists created in individual users’ Contacts folders, and to distribution lists created in Active Directory at the domain local, global or universal levels.

If a calendar event such as a recurring meeting has a distribution list specified as an attendee, and if the distribution list is modified after the creation of the event, then newer members of the distribution list might see past instances of the event in their calendars, even though they were not originally invited to those instances.
