The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi,

As long as somebody is subscribed to a list, (s)he will receive the 
mail, except if (s)he specified the "nomail" option. so no filter for 
receiving the mail.
You have several solutions to do what you want :

- constitute manually a list for each of your subgroups (for marginal 
sendings), and include them in larger lists for every month sending
- use the automatic list feature : you can predefine lists that will be 
created only when needed, and whose subscriber will be extracted on the 
fly from your information system. See: 
https://www.sympa.org/dev-manual/list-families#automatic_list_creation
