First of all let me say that I am very impressed with mailman. It does almost everything we need it to do.
However, I ran into one major problem.
I am in the process of trying to migrate a complicated sendmail alias scheme to mailman. Currently we have a hierarchy of aliases. For example, a top level alias will point to lower level ones.
The problem that I have is that when I nest lists with mailman, if someone is on more than one of the bottom level lists, they will get duplicate messages. Is there anyway for mailman not to send out duplicates in this case?
Also, it is not possible to not have people on more than one of the lower level lists, so making sure that there are not duplicates is not an option.
Any help would be appreciated!

Try lowering MAX_SPAWNS (1 should almost certainly work) and/or raising SMTP_MAX_RCPTS
You need to let sendmail see the duplicates and sort it out.
