What is the global address list and how do I manage it?

Global Address List

The Global Address List, sometimes referred to as "GAL", is a dynamic list containing all users on your domain. The Global Address List can be managed by your domain administrator in order to hide users that may not represent real people (like support@example.com, for example).

Contact information for the Global Address List is pulled from individual profiles of users. To update your listing, click on the Settings button, click the Settings control bar in the left pane and choose Account Profile in the My Settings tree.

Note: All information you enter into your profile can be seen by all other members of your domain.

The Global Address List functions in a way almost identically to My Contacts.
