MemberOf Data Lookup does not Check Nested Groups or Lists

Important! If you use the MemberOf variable to detect outgoing e-mails, be aware that MemberOf does not check for membership of nested mail groups or distribution lists.

For example, an organization has an 'All US' distribution list. This list contains several nested lists, including 'All Chicago'. If MemberOf is set to detect members of the 'All US' mail group, the trigger will not activate when sent to members of 'All Chicago' unless these users are also explicitly members of 'All US'.

Note: You cannot use MemberOf in lookups commands that query Lotus Domino directories.
