The changelog reports: "Added a new 'sibling list' feature to exclude members of another list from receiving a post from this list if the other list is in the To: or Cc: of the post or to include members of the other list if that list is not in the To: or Cc: of the post (Patch ID 1347962)." >From the web admin gui, it's under 'Non-digest options' where you will see two options: * Other mailing lists on this site whose members are excluded from the regular (non-digest) delivery if those list addresses appear in To: or Cc: header. * Other mailing lists on this site whose members are included in the regular (non-digest) delivery if those list addresses don't appear in To: or Cc: header. It's quite easy to add as a patch to earlier versions if you need to (I added it to 2.1.9 quite recently). -- Alice ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
