Novax,

I have reviewed your post and can say with confidence this is not normal behavior for an exchange service.

Several things strike me as odd. First the "-" in front of a contact name and it having issues indexing properly might indicate a problem in your systems active directory. Since all synchronization starts on the client end, all contact information is uploaded to the server then synchronized to each program /device.

The second issue sounds like a routing issue. When you send to multiple recipients, any address listed in the "TO" field will be visable in the origanal header files. I'm unsure how to resolve your distribution list from showing all of the members associated with it, but you should be able to place the DL into the CC field.

I would start by checking with your provider. Do they have a support staff to help resolve these issues?

Keep me posted.
