Perhaps you can use "topics" for this. http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Mailman+2.1+Members+Manual#Mailman2.1Member...

But this depends on users setting topics while posting.

Dear Mark,

According to my scenario please see following points

test@example.com: mikel@example.com, jolly@example.com, clark@example.com (these are the member of the list)

Here test@example.com is mailing list

1. If xyz@example.com sent mail to test@example.com then only mikel@example.com & tina@example.com will get the mails

2. But if arun@example.com sent mail to test@example.com then all the member (mikel@example.com, tina@example.com, clark@example.com) will get the mails.

I do not make 2 lists according to your suggestion, and also i do not want configure with regexp matches on the Subject: or Keywords, means i am concentrating on the poster based.

Please elaborate about this scenario.

Thanks & Regards,

Arun Kumar Gupta

That depends on what your goal is. If you are willing to let the list members and/or posters control this, there are possibilities.

You could create two lists, lista and listb. The members of lista would be those people who should receive posts from either postera or posterb, and the members of listb would be those who should receive only posts from posterb.

Then if you put lista@... in listb's Non-digest options -> regular_include_lists, and postera posts to lista and posterb posts to listb, then the members of both lists will receive posterb's posts and only the members of lista will receive postera's posts.

This relies on the posters posting to the correct list.

Alternatively, another reply suggested topics. This would work, but topics are based on regexp matches on the Subject: or Keywords: headers, not on the poster so the poster would have to identify the topic. You could make your own custom version of Mailman/Handlers/Tagger.py that would assign a Topic to a poster by the poster's address and use topics in that way, but either of these relies on list members subscribing to the appropriate topics. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9> for information on custom handlers.

If your requirement is that who gets which poster's posts is solely controlled by the list administrator, this would require either a rather kludgy custom handler to replace CalcRecips.py or significant modifications to various Mailman modules to implement flags to match list members with posters and a UI to manipulate them. Such modifications are beyond the scope of the mailman-*@python.org lists.

Do you mean

(these are the member of the list)

As I indicated previously, I think your requirements necessate at a minimum, a custom handler to replace the standard Mailman/Handlers/CalcRecips.py for this list, and some way for this handler to know which list members should receive which poster's posts. Implementation of custom handlers in general is discussed in the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9>. The details of the implimentation of a handler to meet your requirements are beyond the scope of the mailman-*@python.org lists.

On the other hand, If it is acceptable for the list members themselves to determine whose posts they receive, you could do this with topics by defining a topic for each poster and making a custom version of Mailman/Handlers/Tagger.py for this list which would tag each post with that poster's topic.

Then the list members could subscribe to the topics of the posters thay want to receive.

The modified Tagger would be fairly simple. Just change the logic which matches topic regexps against Subject: and Keywords: headers to match against the From: header instead.
