<DIV class=PlainText>Ah, very true, I was oversimplifying.

So, each user's INBOX will just get a 'pointer' to the<BR>> message and not a copy of the message.<BR>><BR>> Rasim Duric<BR>> UoG<BR>><BR>> -----Original Message-----<BR>> From: cisco-voip-bounces@puck.nether.net<BR>> [<A href="mailto:cisco-voip-bounces@puck.nether.net" target=_blank>mailto:cisco-voip-bounces@puck.nether.net</A>] On Behalf Of Pat Hayes<BR>> Sent: March-05-08 8:34 PM<BR>> To: Miller, Steve<BR>> Cc: Cisco VoIPoE List<BR>> Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] Can You Retrieve A Message That You Send to A<BR>> Public Distribution List?....or can you time it the same way that you can<BR>> with a Broadcast Message......<BR>><BR>> Nope. Broadcast messages can do that because the message is never<BR>> technically in the user's mailbox, all of the management is done on the<BR>> Unity side. With a PDL, exchange drops a copy of the message in each<BR>> user's mailbox and exchange doesn't really have a practical way to<BR>> expire a message.<BR>><BR>> There are some tools from Microsoft (exmerge) that can be used to remove<BR>> a common message from groups of user's mailboxes, but it is pretty hard<BR>> core and not intended for day to day use.<BR>><BR>> -------- Original Message --------<BR>> From: "Miller, Steve" <MillerS@DicksteinShapiro.COM><BR>> To: "Cisco VoIPoE List" <cisco-voip@puck.nether.net><BR>> Subject: [cisco-voip] Can You Retrieve A Message That You Send to A<BR>> Public Distribution List?....or can you time it the same way that you<BR>> can with a Broadcast Message......<BR>> Date: 3/5/2008 1:08 PM<BR>><BR>><BR>>> ......so that it will go away at a certain time?
