How do I create a group contact list

Hello Dianajean Tasker：

Have a nice day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.I understand that you want to know whether sending an e-mail message to a distribution list is accessible to all team members and can be used only by the creator of the distribution list. If I misunderstand something, don't hesitate to correct me.

After you’ve created a group, you can edit it to control who can send messages to it. By default, only people inside your organization can send to distribution groups in your organization’s address book. To determine who can send to your group:

1. Select Settings  > Options > Groups > Distribution groups I own.
2. Select the distribution group that you want to change the settings for.
3. Select Edit .
4. Select Delivery management.
5. Choose the delivery management settings.
6. Select Save to save your changes, or Cancel to leave without saving. please refer to this article: Distribution groups - Microsoft Support. And, for a focused support experience for you, we kindly recommend that you post a new thread on our community so that you can get individual assistance for your dedicated query. Then our agents will check your issue personally and provide a one-on-one assist.I wish you all the best! Sincerely,
