The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Jörg Heise <address@concealed>]

Hi All,

we're migrating from Lyris Listmanager to Sympa 6.2.70. In Lyris, we've 
been using Master-/Childlists and crossposting to send one posting to 
multiple lists by avoiding that members will receive crossposted 
duplicates.  We wonder how Sympa would handle this scenario. A test 
showed that Sympa sent successfully to the childlists we added as normal 
subscribers to the masterlist. And the childlists sent to their 
subscribers. Duplicates are not sorted out. That's not a real problem.
However, the childlists had the variables set as they would be the 
masterlist. I.e. [% user.email %] refers to the childlist-address rather 
the address of the subscriber. And [% listname %] refers to the name of 
the master-lis instead the childlist. So a subscriber of the childlist 
would get an unsubscribe-link to unsubscribe the childlist from the 
masterlist.
I understand the master/child-feature might just not be fully supported. 
But I want to ask if there is a way to set up this scenario in Sympa?
Thanks in advance.
