I have Pegasus running on a small peer to peer network with a file server. Each PC uses the same set of system wide folders, address book and distribution lists based on the server. Except that ....when we set up new distribution lists from a client PC even though they are 'system wide' they don't appear on the servers on version of Pegasus. They are available on all the other client PCs. Could this be something to do with where the server stores the address book or distribution lists?

There is a folder on the server C drive called peglists which seems to have all the new ones. How can I check that the server setup is pointing at this folder?

I assume with your setup you are also running only one copy of PMail and all the users have just a shortcut on their system.

Check the environment variable PML for all systems.  This is the environment variable that points to the directory containing the system level dist. lists.  If this is blank the system dist. lists are to be located in the same directory as the common PMail program file.
