No, what I was trying to say is, I have a list member which is also allowed (via accept_these_nonmembers) to write to other lists but is not a member of these other lists. So if x...@y.com sent an email to li...@mydomain.com and to li...@mydomain.com and x...@y.com is only member of li...@mydomain.com than x...@y.com gets a duplicate email as well as all members of these two lists. Furthermore if that email is also sent to li...@mydomain.com, than the members as well as x...@y.com will receive 3 identical emails (content wise). It seems to me as if mailman, when it hands over to postfix, duplicates the email so many times as to so many lists the emails was sent. But this is only my suggestion. I have no idea, where to look into. The mailman logs and postfix logs gave me no clear picture. > > The list member setting "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" (nodupes) > does not affect this.
