    Hello
      Everyone,
      
      
      I am a sympa newbie so please excuse my ignorance as i was not
      able to find something relevant in the list archives. I have
      recently installed sympa 6.2.40 and verified its working great. I
      have a couple of test lists with a handful of subscribers each and
      emails are being distributed and archived correctly.
      
      
      The thing is I am in need to have a nested set of lists in a
      Superlist and sublists style, that way If a message is sent to the
      superlist, then that message will also be sent to the sub list(s).
      
      
      Currently when I subscribe a list to another I get the following
      error in the logs when a post is sent:
      
      
      sympa_msg[3985]: err main::#243 > Sympa::Spindle::spin#83 >
      Sympa::Spindle::ProcessIncoming::_twist#285 Ignoring message which
      would cause a loop; message appears to be an auto-reply
      
      
      I would be obliged if you could provide some pointers or an
      example implementation of a superlist.
      
      
      Thank you in advance
      
      
      Charis

Hi Charis,

you can use lists as data sources for other lists.

Create the separate lists first, e.g. faculty@..., students@..., staff@..., guests@... and then the superlist all@... You'll find the data sources configuration in the admin area of a list in ›Edit list config -> Data sources setup‹.

Best regards

Thomas
