Distribution list failure - "an unexpected error has occurred"

[Jones]

My distribution lists suddenly stopped working when sending email. Receive
message "an unexpected error has occurred". All single contacts in address
book continue to work with no problem.

DL's are neither reliable nor robust. Few people rely upon them. State the
changes you made before the DL "suddenly stopped working." Consider using a
reliable way to group Contacts.

Outlook MVP eh? Your response lacks both a solution and a path to a

(distribution lists) but the anemic "Consider using a reliable way to group
Contacts." supplies nothing but frustration.
