The following examples show different methods of using
distribution lists.
1. This example sends mail to users whose names are on the local
OpenVMS distribution list AGENCIES.DIS. The distribution list

logical name is not set, so by default unqualified Internet
addresses would be sent over DECnet; therefore, the AUDUBON@NY
address is included with the SMTP% prefix and quotation marks.
