problem sending to multiple addresses in Outlook 2003

[jradov]

I cannot get Outlook 2003 to send to multiple email addresses. I used to do
this with no problem, but no longer. I am using Outlook 2003 as part of
Office Professional 2003.

I can.
How are we supposed to figure this out with no information?

Here is more information: I seem to be able to send to a few addresses at
once, but not to many. I had used the distribution list fundction
successfully in the past, but it won't work now. When I contacted the POP
host for my email, they said that the header (?) was coming to them empty.
Microsoft's technicians had me try sending to several of their addresses
simultaneously, which worked, but when I tried my lists again, they did not
work. Even emails to several names did not work. At one point, MS suggested
that my email address formatting was flawed. [I have tried email addresses
typed in plain, separated by ";" separated by "," with parentheses or
brackets, and none of these worked. I changed my SMTP server to that of my
connectivity provider (Cablevision's Optonline.net) because someone suggested
that they might be interfering. That did not help.

I wonder if my Outlook is "looking" in the wrong place for email addresses
when I have several of them or a distribution list, but I am not expert in
this at all.

I am using Windows XP Media Edition, Office Professional 2003.

Does this problem only occur when using a DL? What does happen at your end
when send a message addressed to a DL? What happens if you select multiple
recipients from the Outlook Address Book?
Do you remember what changes you made to your setup before this stopped
working?
