Distribution List like a group? - Microsoft Community

i have outlook 2016.

microsoft pumping creating groups instead of distribution lists.

but makes no sense...

i share common task 3 other internal employees, in 1 of must send out daily e-mail list of 5 external contacts.

if each maintain our own personal "distribution list" not synced , changes made one, not reflect changes of three.

so thought groups solve this...but:

we create group, , way can add external users owa, have to join group.  want them on shared, updateable distribution list 3 share, can send daily email.

they not in "collaboration" us, need come our sharepoint site, or etc., need email.

i saw "in cloud" distribution list in exchange, there no way add external users.

this should extremely easy, not me.

there should 3 categories:

1. personal distributions

2. shared distributions

3, groups collaboration

and in mind, collaboration allowed should customizable.

any ideas on how can accomplished?
