Programmatically creating Distribution Lists

Thanks - getting rid of email related properties does get rid of the ().
However I still have the larger problem, in that some Outlook clients
have a problem sending to my DL. Sometimes my customer gets a
crash, other times the error "Cannot perform the requested operation. The
command selected is not valid for this recipient". (This error happens when
the
Send button is pressed. Entering the DL in to the To list works fine). One
workaround is to
expand the DL by clicking on the "+" next to the name, but I would like to
find a better
solution. I currently use extended mapi to create the DL object and
populate it with various
properties. Does anyone have a list of required properties? Any
documentation at all on how to
create DL entries with mapi? I should add that these DL entries look just
fine using the Contacts
folder interface.
