Hello:
I dont have clear the difference between send and email to a distribution
group and send an email to serveral users.For example:
I have to send a email to 5 users: user1,user2,user3,user4,user5
I create a distribution group with this users.My question is that if is the
same send email to the new distribution group , or send the email for each
users??
Any kb in technet???
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

It's the same, the Distribution Group is far more convenient. Is that what
you're asking?

I think that it is not the same.
In database I think that with a distribution group if all users are in the
same database only one copy of the message are stored.With the second way ,
you store in database five copies.I'm trying to find docummentation in
technet , but nothing finded.
What is your opinion???
Thanks in advance....

Your thinking is wrong.  Your "first way" applies to both cases, i.e.,
single-instance storage applies to messages whether sent to multiple
recipients or a single distribution group.
