The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Josh <address@concealed>]

Hi Matt -

I appreciate the quick reply.  We're looking to migrate from our home-grown system to Sympa, but we have something like 25,000 programmatically generated lists (Higher Education -- Majors, Minors, Concentrations, Course Sections, etc) over. I was hoping we missed something in the documentation. If not, we may have to stay with home-grown system.

You could make lists which include membership of the other lists

ie...

address@concealed : includes the membership of lists x and y

address@concealed : includes the membership of lists x and y and z

not going to scale very well with more than three lists, and you have to remember to send to the aggregate lists 

Thanks,
Matt

Take the following scenario:

User A is a member of the following Sympa Mailing Lists:

address@concealed

address@concealed

address@concealed

If an email is sent (To: or Cc: field) to address@concealed,

address@concealed, and

address@concealed, how can User A only receive one single message instead of three?

I found a very old posting here (https://listes.renater.fr/sympa/arc/sympa-users/2007-04/msg00039.html) with a similar scenario but no resolution and I am unable to find anything in the documentation for how to implement this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
