If the she is a member of the list and, directly or indirectly, of 7 
subordinate lists, she will recieve 8 copies of a post to the list (unless she 
is a gmail user in which case gmail will supress the dups).

[Mailman-Users] Question on functionality

2007-10-24 Thread Jim Park
All,
 I would like to know how Mailman handles an email that is sent to an 
umbrella list that contains multiple lists and contains one or more 
users that are members of the various lists.  Is Mailman "smart" enough 
to not send multiple messages to the user(s) that are on multiple lists 
under the umbrella list?  I am seeing a list member that is receiving 
multiple emails.  I am trying to narrow down the reasons why she is 
receiving 8 duplicate copies of the same message.

Thank you,
 -Jim
