Thank you David and Thomas,

I found the option, now I need to play around with it a bit.

Best Regards,

Charis

      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
