Good Day,
I have two lists that have essentially the same members except for one
person. Unfortunately, they are client facing lists and we have different
clients using them so we cannot combine them or eliminate one which would
make this so much easier.
List a has 5 people on it
List b has 6 people on it
When we send an email to lista& listb many of the people get 2 emails, so
we put listb in the lista exclude list and lista in the listb exclude list.
What happened then was surprising, no one got any emails, even the non-duped
people (as far as I have been able to tell anyway).
This is as documented in the web interface's "details" page for
regular_exclude_lists:
Do not specify this list address mutually in the exclude list
configuration page of the other list, or members of both lists
won't get any message.
Anyone have an idea why this would happen and how to resolve it?
This has been raised here before and answered, e.g. the second half of my
long message at
http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg57524.html
The setup I described there works, i.e. my regular_exclude_lists settings
for 4 siblings is like this:
list4: list1, list2, list3
list3: list1, list2
list2: list1
list1: (empty)
This assures that no list excludes a sibling list that excludes it in return.
