announcement alert for all staff not working

[Lib-Techie]

Hi I'm running WSS 3.0 users authenticate via AD 2k3, I'm trying to
setup a group in AD where i can add all the users as well as new hires,
and have the announcements alert this group. I did a DL at first but
that didn't work so i created a security group with email and added all
staff but when i created a new announcement no one got the alert. any
ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thx

Hi Monica,

look here:

"We've solved this problem. We are using AD Security Group. It has a
property email address. You need to give it a email address. You should have
an EMail group in your exchange server or lotus notes server with the email
ids of all the member from AD Security Group."

Some virus checkers might stop Alerts because they blocking port 25.
