When using the import function of Exchange Administrator to add mailboxes to a
Distribution List, use one of the following two options:
1. Create an import file with a list of DL's and put the list of users for that
DL in the Members field.
2. Create an import file with a list of mailboxes and put the list of DL's that
each mailbox should belong to in a field titled Members instead of Member Of.
