Troubleshooting

Problem Resolution
I would like to delete several users from an existing distribution list, but the Webmail Administration page, I don't see a way to delete more than one person at a time. Is there a workaround? It might be more efficient to delete the distribution list and create a new one from an imported .csv file that reflects the new membership.
