Hi Adrien

Kolab does support distribution lists, it is accessable from the admin gui, 
under "Distribution Lists". Just add the users that you want in the list and 
its job done (you may need to create contacts in your global contact list for 
outside addresses). As far as I know, there is no way for users to create and 
then share their own distribution lists (although I may well be proven wrong 
on that)

For low priority internal use, I have found it much easier to use shared 
folders. This way users can subscribe and unsubscribe as they wish. Dont use 
this for important communications though, because a lot of users will use 
the "I didnt get the email" line. Shared folders are good for company 
socials, internal classifieds etc.

Hope that helps,
