Default Distribution List - Undeliverable

I have created some distribution list. When I try to send an email to one of
these list, the List name appears in the to: address section, it is in bold
and has the + sign next to it. If you click on the + sign it shows all of
the addresses in the list. When I send the email I get an undeliverable
email back that states: (I set up a test group to try and resolve the problem)

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

The following recipient(s) cannot be reached:

'Test Group' on 3/7/2010 10:49 AM

Does anyone have any idea how to correct this problem. All help is
appreciated.

Your DL is corrupt or contains a corrupt entry. Restore it from your most
recent backup. You cannot repair DL's.

If your DL expands properly, perhaps the autocompletion cache contains an
older, incorrect reference. Start typing the DL name in the To field of a new
message. When it pops up, select it with the down arrow key and press Delete.
Then press Ctrl+K to resolve what you've entered so far. If you've typed
enough, it will resolve immediately (become underlined). Otherwise, you'll be
given a list of names matching what you've typed. Select the DL. Test the
send process again.
