Caveat: I don't know majordomo. You can subscribe your Mailman list to the majordomo list. So far there is no loop. Your issues are: - users who are members of both list get duplicates of posts to the majordomo list. - you have to set up your Mailman lists to accept the messages from majordomo. This can be tricky. You may need to subscribe the "envelope sender" of the majordomo list to your Mailman list with delivery disabled. >>If this works, then it would be nice to implement the other way: >>if someone post in my mailman list, a copy is sended to the majordomo list. Now you have the complement of the above situation plus a potential loop. Mailman adds an X-BeenThere: header with the list address in it to prevent looping. Thus when you post to Mailman and the post goes to majordomo and then comes back to Mailman, the X-BeenThere: will prevent it going out a second time *provided* that majordomo hasn't munged it. Assuming majordomo does nothing to prevent looping (I said I don't kmow majordomo), the above works for a post to Mailman, but a post to majordomo would go to Mailman and be sent to majordomo a second time and go out from majordomo a second time before being discarded by Mailman because of the X-BeenThere:. If majordomo has loop prevention that doesn't conflict with Mailman (Mailman is OK with multiple X-BeenThere: headers), then there should be no loops. The worst possibility is if majordomo has no loop protection *and* strips Mailman's X-BeenThere:. Then you'd have an infinite loop. You need to check this with someone who knows majordomo *and* test it first with small test lists. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
