What / how exactly does the 'nodupes' flag do? That page says it 'tries'
to filter out duplicate messages to users, how does it determine that 2
addresses are in fact the same person? And on that, if I have 1 member
on a list with 2 addresses (same person), say [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and the nodupes flag is on for one or both of
them, will Mailman in fact not duplicate the message to those 2 member
address?

Reason is, we're in the middle of converting from one domain name to a
new one and would like to leave the old address as well as the new
address in every list for a period of time. Then, after this time
passes, remove the old member address. However, I don't want people to
start receiving duplicate messages and was wondering how exactly this
flag works.

I'm currently planning to migrate people to the new domain via a
clone_member command for every member of every list. Have a script dumps
out the current membership for a list and if the domain portion is the
old one it does a clone from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I added
the -r flag to the clone_member command to remove the old address but
have been asked to see if we can maintain the multiple memberships
without people receiving dupes.

Any feedback would be great. Thanks.
