[Tutor] creating distribution lists in outlook

[Pirritano, Matthew]

That's the way we've been doing it. The issue, and inspiration for
pythonification is that the list has 1000+ emails. Outlook only allows
about 50 per list, which leads to the need to create 20+ separate lists,
which takes a considerable amount of time.

Have you considered looking into Outlook's Import feature for address
books?  It may be possible to import data from csv's already, and you
may be able to structure these into groups in a clever way and avoid
almost all of the work of interfacing Outlook to your program.

Depending on the scale / frequency of this project it might not be
feasible, but it's something to consider.
