Sending an email from a distribution list

I am using hMail server, and I have a distribution list within one of my accounts. I would like to know if it's possible to send an email from the distribution list, or is it not real开发者_Go百科ly an "account"?

My initial response would be that, being a "distribution list" - you will only be able to retrieve mail. Not send it.

I was able to send a mail from a distribution list id. Check the following link
