Are you able to recall messages that have been sent to an email distro?

Hi @AH，

Are you able to recall a message that was sent to an email distro? The distro is within my companies server.

Yes, it can work. It's handled similar as recalling a message sent to multiple users individually.

Below is the test result in my Exchange environment:

1. DL1 is a distribution list created within the Exchange server. It has two members, User1 and User2.
2. I sent a test mail to DL1 and then recalled it. After user1 and user2 checked their inbox in Outlook, the test message was recalled successfully:
   

With the above being said, since there are some conditions which must be met for the recall to succeed, in most occasions, it might be better to just send a short but sincere apology message instead.

One article about this feature for reference: Recall a sent message (and why it will probably fail).
