You can see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/TIA9>, but the approach
there is essentially the same.
The alternative is to use Mailman's regular_exclude_lists feature
(under Non-digest options) as mentioned in the above FAQ, but with
150+ lists (or even merely a dozen), this probably isn't viable.
Mark:
The FAQ says:
a better umbrella list as long as you are not concerned about digest members.
Using the above example, create the list "Threesomes" with no
members, and in Threesomes' Non-digest options -> regular_include_lists put
threeblindm...@mylists.com
threebe...@mylists.com
threemenna...@mylists.com
Then, a post to "Threesomes" will be sent to the regular (nondigest)
members of the above three lists without duplication.
Above you say this approach may not be viable for me. Is this
because of the work involved in my entering and updating the list of lists
in regular_include_lists , or because of something else I am not
aware of. If it would work for me, I am willing to do the work -- I
am not as technical as some, and wouldn't want to mess around with
scripts unless I have to. This approach would also allow me to have
several versions of the almost-all-subscribers lists, including or
excluding certain lists.
Thanks for your help as always!
Dave
