The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

Depends on how you configure it.

If the user is in list A,
And list B does an include_list A for membership,

Then the user could unsubscribe to list B, if you have the appropriate 
unsubscribe scenario.  What would happen is that they would be added to the 
list B exclude list, so they would remain a member of list A but not receive 
postings from list B.

If you want the list B unsubscribe to unsubscribe them from list A then you 
have a problem, since list B may also include lists C and D, and you've no 
way of knowing if the user is on list A or list C (or even on both of them).

Subject: [sympa-users] Generating a link to unsubscribe when using sub-lists

Hi!

I would like to use multiple sub-lists and then have one top-level
list to which I would be sending e-mails. The idea of sub-lists is for
easier management.

But I have a question, I would like to put into a footer a link onto
which users can click to unsubscribe. But if I am sending to a
top-level list then the link would point to that list but users cannot
really unsubscribe there, no?

I am using the following link as a unsubscribe link:

<domain>/auto_signoff/[% listname %]/[% user.escaped_email %]
