-7.2 How can I avoid getting duplicate messages? (duplicates option)
-
-
-
-
-Mailman can't completely stop you from getting duplicate messages, but it
-can help. One common reason people get multiple copies of a mail is that
-the sender has used a ``group reply'' function to send mail to both the list
-and some number of individuals. If you want to avoid getting these messages,
-Mailman can be set to check and see if you are in the To: or
-CC: lines of the message. If your address appears there, then
-Mailman can be told not to deliver another copy to you. This means you get
-only the copy sent by the original sender, and not a copy which been altered by
-Mailman (to include headers and footers, strip attachments, etc.).

Log in to your member options page. (See Section 3.1
- for more details on how to do this.)
-
-
Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the section marked
- ``Avoid duplicate copies of messages?'' and change the value accordingly.

-
-This can also be changed for multiple lists at the same time if you are subscribed to
-more than one list on the same domain. See Section 10.1 for
-information about changing settings globally.
-
-
-To turn this on or off using the email interface:
-
-
-
Send a mail to LISTNAME-request@DOMAIN with the command
- set duplicates on or set duplicates off.
-
-
-Commands can appear
- in either the body or the subject of the message. (See
- Section 3.2 for more information about sending mail
- commands.)
-
-
Set it to ``on'' to receive list copies of messages already sent
- to you, set it to ``off'' to avoid receiving these duplicates.
