Emailing to distribution lists

[JtheTechRookie]

I want to send emails to groups of people. Should I create a distribution
list or a group list? Is there a difference? Also, how do I send a message to
a group or distribution list without all the people in the group or on the
list seeing the addresses of all the other people who receive the message?
I've gotten messages that I know were part of a group distribution, but
rather than seeing the hundreds of other addresses the messages went out to,
I saw one neat, clean group/distrib list title. How do I set up the same kind
of thing?

If you are running a standalone Outlook (not connected to a domain with
Exchange server) you can only create Outlook distributionlists which will
show all addresses unless you use the BCC field or a mail merge.
Distributionlists with their own e-mail address are created at mail server
level so unless you have control ove a mailserver you cannot create these.
The difference between a group and a distributionlist is that a group can be
assigned rights or access in a domain environment like access to files and
permission to use certain printers.
