For those that are interested:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CSCsd21996 Bug Details : CPCA does not enforce public distribution list send restrictions 
 
Symptom: CPCA does not enforce public distribution list send restrictions set in the SA.

Conditions: This likely occurs in all version of Unity since 4.0(1).

Workaround: Exchange has functionality built-in to restrict those allowed to send to a distribution group. For Exchange 2000/2003, open "Active Directory Users and Computers", local the distribution group and select, then click the 'Exchange General' tab. Under the tab there is an option for 'Message restrictions'.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still have to test it out, but the workaround doesn't prevent the DLs from appearing, but will prevent people from actually sending messages to them. Takes some work to configure each DL though.

  Subject: Cisco PCA and public distribution lists...


  We're fooling around with Cisco PCA (http://unity/ciscopca) and I've found a disturbing revelation. In the private lists section, under add new members, distribution lists, we see all the public distribution lists that we have available, even if the Show distribution list in e-mail server address book is unchecked, and I am not a member of the distribution list.

  I can not find anything in the Unity SA pages to prevent this. The CoS has nothing checked. 

  Anyone have any ideas?
