I run a small club with about 50 members. All the club mailing lists are
private. Everyone is in the [email protected] list, and there are two other
smaller lists containing subsets of the membership, eg [email protected],
[email protected]. When a message is sent to both [email protected] and
[email protected], recipients get both copies of the message.
Would it be better to remove individuals who are in the [email protected] list
from the [email protected] list, and then add @admin as a member of the
[email protected] list. Does this make [email protected] an 'umbrella' list?
First, you wouldn't add @admin as a member of [email protected]. If
you wanted to do this, you would add [email protected] as a member of
the [email protected] list. The @listname syntax is only for things
like subscribe_auto_approval and *_these_nonmembers. But then members
removed from the smaller lists because they are also members of the
larger list would not receive posts addressed only to a smaller list.
That said, there is a better way to do this.
add [email protected] and [email protected] to
regular_exclude_lists on the [email protected] list. Then when a post
is addressed to say [email protected] and [email protected], members
of [email protected] will be excluded from delivery from the
[email protected] list and will receive only one copy from the
[email protected] list.
How you set regular_exclude_ignore on the [email protected] list
depends on how the smaller lists treat nonmember posts. This is to
address the situation where a nonmember of say [email protected] posts
to [email protected] and [email protected], perhaps by reply-all to a
post that addressed both lists. If that post to the [email protected]
list will ultimately be rejected or discarded, set
regular_exclude_ignore on the [email protected] list to Yes, but if it
will ultimately be accepted for the [email protected] list set
regular_exclude_ignore on the [email protected] list to No.
