Ten years on PM, first time using a distribution list--or trying to. I get a msg saying 

"You have attempted to nest distribution lists deeper than 5 lists, or have defined a list which includes itself. Your message cannot be delivered as addressed."

 I have no idea what that means or how I did it. 

The main list probably has a hundred names on it, but the one I'm testing has only two names on it (neither of which is the listname), and of course the @listname put there by PM in the address bar. List name must be the issue, though--because I only have 4 lists--black,white, real and test. I'm also running it with addressees suppressed.

 Running PM v4.63 (Win 32) Build 325 under W8. 

Any help appreciated!

 Thanks!
