Hi Developers,
I've just uploaded a new patch to enable 'sibling list' feature in mailman non-digest delivery. I'd like to get feedback from develpers on this feature, particularly on the naming ... sibling. ;-)
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=300103&aid=1347962&group_id=103
Here are excerpts from the patch tracker.
Sibling lists are other mailing lists on this site whose members are excluded from regular delivery if those list addresses appear in To: or Cc: header.
The list addresses should be witten in full mail address format (e.g. mailman@example.com). Do not specify the list address mutually in the sibling list configuration page or those doubled members won't get message.
TBD:
Is the terminology 'sibling' appropriate?
Need more comments in the processing code (CalcRecips.py).

Just to add a note. I picked up this word from Squid Web Proxy server's configuration. http://squid.visolve.com/squid/squid24s1/glossary.htm#sibling
