Is this a global group or one you've set up for your personal use?

I'm send email using the Mail::SendMail module. I understand how the send To field works for multiple works however, I can't get it to work to send mail to a group existing in my Lotus Notes mailbox. Does anyone knows how i can make it work?
so that we are on the same page, we have 'mailing groups' - such as
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
that fan out the email to everyone who is on the list, is there some special way that 'lotus notes' hides that type of 'group address'??? that requires you to be IN a Lotus Notes application to gain access to it?
A part of the question is how is the 'group' in Lotus Notes hiding the actual RFC822 compliant headers... Or put the other way around, can you send regular email, outside of lotus notes, that can get to the 'group list'???
If there is nothing that is bridging between the standard SMTP mailing system and the Lotus Notes side of the process, then you have serious problems in front of you. Since If I remember correctly, what lotus is doing is advertising an entry into the Lotus Domino server, and then doing some database manipulations - at which point basically it winds up 'expanding it all' and sending an individual 'note' to everyone in the group - and also to email clients, if an entry is to an actual RFC822 compliant email address...
We went through weirdness like that with a corporation that believed in Lotus Notes....
HTH.
Personally I would go with Mail::Mailer - which has a bunch of simpler ways to deal with 'sending mail' that are independent of the actual sendmail application.
