The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["DUVAL Olivier" <address@concealed>]

 

Hello,

We use Lyris but we hope to rock towards Sympa soon ;).

In Lyris, you can fix this parameter per list (see the image screen). In case of a cross-posting, Lyris detects the common subscribers, and sends only to the first lists if necessary for the common subscribers. Also, Lyris detects (the first 200 characters… not very good...) that a message was already sent (of the same author) and does not send solely to the subscribers not having received it.

All this cases are made possible because Lyris sends 1 message by subscriber (~VERP) and not by batch for a domain (like Sympa). This type of sending is costly in bandwidth, we made the expenses of them.
