I run a bunch of lists and have set up a special 'all_subscribers' list that I maintain with a cron job that runs every night. The cron job runs the following script:
the file list_of_all_lists contains the names of all the lists I want to include with this 'all_subscribers' list. ######## #!/bin/bash touch /tmp/all_subs for i in $(cat list_of_all_lists) do /usr/share/mailman/bin/list_members -f --nomail=enabled $i >> /tmp/all_subs done cat /tmp/all_subs|sort -u > /tmp/all_subs.sorted /usr/share/mailman/bin/sync_members -f /tmp/all_subs.sorted all_subscribers > /dev/null rm /tmp/all_subs /tmp/all_subs.sorted ########## Sending to this list causes the post to go to each subscriber of any list just once. I have another list that combines a subset of the lists similarly.
