Applies to: Exchange Server 2010 SP3, Exchange Server 2010 SP2

Address lists are a collection of recipient and other Active Directory objects. You apply an address list when the address list filter rule has been edited. To update the membership of the address list to include new recipients and remove those who no longer meet the filtering criteria, you must apply the address list.

Changes that you make to an address list aren't applied to recipients until you apply the list. You can apply changes to address lists immediately or at a scheduled time by using the New Address List wizard or the Edit Address List wizard.
