Default Importing addresses from an Excel spreadsheet

I have about 8000 email addresses in an Excel spreadsheet that need to be
imported and created into a Distribution List in MS Outlook.

The first question, is it possible and what steps do I need to follow to do
so.

The second question, will there be any impact on our Exchange Server when we
attempt to send out a simple mail to the DL?

Please advise, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Default Importing addresses from an Excel spreadsheet

A personal distribution list in an Outlook folder in an Exchange mailbox or public folder -- as opposed to a DL in Active Directory -- can hold only roughly 120 members. Why don't you just perform a mail merge using the spreadsheet as the data source?
