Unable to Send to Distribution List

Issue/Question

I am trying to send to an email to a Distribution List and I am receiving the following email message:

 

Your message to the group dl_distrobutionlist@macomb.edu couldn't be delivered.

The group DistrobutionList only accepts messages from people on its allowed senders list, and your email address isn't on the list.

Environment

  • Microsoft Exchange/O365 (College email)

Additional Details

 Note: If you are trying to send to a distribution list that is associated with the DL_MCCStaff list (IT Managed Distribution Lists) you will need approval from the Communications dept (communications@macomb.edu) to gain access.
