There can be up to 35 destinations in a distribution list.
My file NCNET.DIS contains:
kb6irs
n6iya
ki6eh
aa4re
kb6owt
wa6rdh
w6pw
w0rli <- I put my own call in the list so the message will
not automatically kill until after I have read it.
The message is not forwarded to these stations in any special order.
If a station is busy then the MailBox will try again the next hour.
An "L" listing of a message with a distribution list shows the sysop the
status of forwarding to each station on a second "cc:" line. The calls to
which the message have been sent have an asterisk before them.
The Configuration File, section four (remainder of file).
Each item goes on one line. Various prompts, messages, and constants.
