To make it clear:
listcombine includes listname1 and listname2.
When I add a user to listcombine (add listcombine email@address) I get a
message back that that user has been added to the list. If I then review the
list (review listcombine) the email address email@address is in the list
although it does not appear in listname1 or listname2 (review
listname1/review listname2). Also if I grep all files in my sympa directory
and subdirectories email@address is not found anywhere. I don't understand.
