Actually Brian was correct. What hadf happened was the on DL that gave the
error had two addresses set with "MAILTO:" before the SMTP. So it of course
triggered an error. So for those that run into needing a Contact based
distribution list with a ton of persons in it the embedding of smaller DL's
into a single combined DL does work. Thanks to all who helped with this!!
