[Re: regarding IETF lists using mailman: nodupes considered harmful]

Hi Jeroen,

I forwared your message - not replying to show your headder:

From: Jeroen Massar <jeroen(_at_)unfix(_dot_)org>
To: Keith Moore <moore(_at_)cs(_dot_)utk(_dot_)edu>
Cc: ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org

So you had sent to moore(_at_)cs(_dot_)utk(_dot_)edu(_dot_)
ietf(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org received only a copy. Some people might have got 
nothing.

My own Mozilla/Thunderbird behaves the same way:

I would have had to manually change to/cc for all recipients.

That is what we all need to do now if I got it correctly.

Regards
Peter and Karin

Specifics:  Mailman has a per-recipient setting called "nodupes".  The
effect of this setting is that any recipient address that has the
nodupes flag set, and which appears in a To or CC field of a message
sent to the list, will not receive a copy of the message from the
list.

But they _should_ be getting the message directly already, because of
the CC: or To:. Or is there something which causes the person not to get
it?

Indeed when some 'malicious' person would add Cc's/To's and would
instruct his SMTP to not forward to the additional addresses in the
Cc/To the users will effectively not receive the message.

Or when the recipient doesn't accept messages to $list(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org +
himself, and expects everything to come from the list directly.

But how exactly does this cause a problem?

Greets,
 Jeroen
