[Mailman-Users] Subscribers of one list = subscribers of another?
Let's say I have 3 lists, list1, list2, and list3. Now I would like to have the subscribers of list 3 to be those of list1 + list2. So, when the list of subscribers in, say, list2 changes, list3 is automagically updated. Is there a way to do that? I looked into what was suggested on the bottom of http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/, but it seems to be aimed at accept_these_nonmembers. I actually even tried it to do what I wanted but had no luck. -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

IIRC this configuration used to suck really badly in previous versions of Mailman, and I'm unsure if it ever got sorted out. ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/

IIRC this configuration used to suck really badly in previous versions of Mailman, and I'm unsure if it ever got sorted out. There are various problems with umbrella lists such as members of list1 or list2 can't post to list3 unless non-members can post (but Jim Tittsler's patch referenced above can help with this). Also, members of both list1 and list2 will get duplicate copies of posts to list3. See the FAQ article at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq03.005.htp for more info and a suggested work around. -- Mark Sapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

I just checked, and apparently the problems with umbrella lists aren't logged as bugs. I've added two bugs to SourceForge to track them. ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
