The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi Alfonso,

This would be possible. Sympa handles a "packet priority" to order SMTP 
sessions between them for a single message.
The only usage of this feature, for now, is to mark the last session to 
do in order to know when the last message to a list is sent.
All we woul have to do would be to change the grouping algorithm in 
order to apply higher priority value to the packets to be sent first.
Alas, we still have a lot on our plates to finish the 6.2 richt now, so 
this won't be implemented soon.

You can submit a feature request to the tracker so that we don't forget 
about your request:

Regards,

David
