The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi Vharis,

It is a common beginner erro, no worries.

You must never subscribe a list to another one. It is indeed a source a 
message loops. For example, if you subscribe list A to list B, list b to 
list C and list C to list A, when you send a mail to listA, it will sent 
it to list B, which will send it to list C, which sends it to list A, 
which send it to list B, ad infinitum.

You will only include the sublists into a superlist, using the list data 
source parameter.

In the list configuration > datasources section of your list admin, just 
add the name of the list to include. This sublist's subscribers will be 
included in the superlist. You can include as many lists as you wish, in 
as many hierarchy levels as you need.

Regards,

David
