Bam, duplicates.
How about just rewriting the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address in the To:/Cc: header to the new address when you forward the mail. <snip> >I also tried sending this to the -developers list. No response.

Not something amazing, but enough for a nice dinner and >drinks (or if you're local to silicon valley, I'll buy). I saw your post on mailman-developers. It's still in my inbox. I think that's probably the more appropriate list, but clearly it didn't generate any interest. >Can mailman please have this functionality natively? What you're asking is that Mailman be modified to solve a problem which at its core is a problem that you created outside of Mailman. It is not clear to me that there are many or even any Mailman installations other than yours that would benefit from this solution. However, since it's a slow Saturday, see the attached DuplicatePost.py handler. This is a custom handler which can be installed following the instructions in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9>. You will also need to add two settings to mm_cfg.py I suggest MESSAGE_ID_EXPIRES_AFTER = minutes(30) HOLD_DUPLICATE_MESSAGES = No but you can set them anyway you want. If HOLD_DUPLICATE_MESSAGES is Yes, the duplicate will be held for moderator approval, if No, it will be discarded. MESSAGE_ID_EXPIRES_AFTER is the length of time to remember seen Message-IDs. You must set both of these in mm_cfg.py before enabling the DuplicatePost handler. The handler should come early in the pipeline. It should be before Replybot and can even be first. You can enable it as first in the pipeline by putting GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(0, 'DuplicatePost') in mm_cfg.py, but I strongly suggest you use the config_list method to set it for one test list and test it before enabling it for all lists. The order in which to do things is 1) update mm_cfg.py with the two required settings 2) copy DuplicatePost.py to Mailman/Handlers 3) restart Mailman 4) run bin/config_list to add the updated pipeline to the test list 5) test 6) if satisfied 7) put above GLOBAL_PIPELINE insertion in mm_cfg.py 8) restart mailman 9) buy me dinner :) -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
