Sorry, that was my fault for reading VB for VC and not steering you to
Extended MAPI in the first place.

If you want the SMTP address from an Exchange DL, you can't use
MailItem.Recipients(1).Address. Outlook knows nothing about SMTP addresses
for Exchange aco***. You'll need to drop into ExMAPI again and use the
PR_EMAIL field.
