This was reposted to mailman-users and answered there.

If so, it's tricky since the contents of acceptable aliases are really regexp patterns, not simple strings. However, if in your case, all the strings in acceptable_aliases are full addresses all you need is to insert for r in mlist.acceptable_aliases.splitlines(): if ccaddrs.has_key(r.lower()): del ccaddrs[r.lower()] in Mailman.Handlers.AvoidDuplicates.py just ahead of # RFC 2822 specifies zero or one CC header del msg['cc'] if ccaddrs: msg['Cc'] = COMMASPACE.join([formataddr(i) for i in ccaddrs.values()]) at the end of the module. I wouldn't suggest doing this in general, even with a regexp match, because there are bound to be unintended consequences in cases where there is not an explicit reply to list and/or acceptable_aliases has one or more actual regexps. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
