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. ------------------------------------------------------------- | Darren Young | http://www.chicagogsb.edu | | Senior UNIX Administrator | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | University of Chicago GSB | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
