I seem to be having more than my usual problems with typing/proofreading this morning. The above paragraph should say Actually, AvoidDuplicates.py could serve as a good example, but it is currently not actually used. It is experimental and is not included in the default GLOBAL_PIPELINE. More importantly, I was confused. AvoidDuplicates.py does appear in the GLOBAL_PIPELINE, but it does not do what its docstring says it does. All it does in its current form is not send to list recipients who are explicitly addressed in a To: or Cc: header of the message and you have selected the nodups option for the list. Thus, there is no "in-memory dictionary of Message-ID: and recipient pairs" and no testing to see if a recipient has already received another copy of the message from Mailman. The intent of the feature described in the docstring is to enable the elimination of sending multiple copies of messages which were cross-posted to multiple lists to a recipient who is a member of more than one of those lists. This feature was never successfully implemented. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
