The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Brian,

This  feature has been introduced in Sympa 5 release with the 'family' 
feature.
A list family includes a list template than can be instanciated with a 
set of data coming from your Information system.
This feature allows you to automatically create bunch of lists sharing 
common caracteristics.

Here is the related documentation :
