The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Jose Maria Palacio <address@concealed>]

Thanks a lot András, Dan.

I have some aditional questions for both of you about these approaches.

If a define a list using the DB or the include2 data source...
(1) ... if I include several list sharing subscriptors/members, when I
send a email to the list, those subscriptors/members will receive
duplicate emails?
(2) ... the send scenario would be independent from the send scenarios
defined for each included list? I mean, the new list could be "send
newsletter" if the included lists were "send private" and "send
editorkeyonly" (for instance)?

Thanks again.
