Bug Description
Hello,
we are using mailman-2.1.7 in cooperation with the
postfix mta. While fiddling around with pipe transport
we recovered the following problem:
Create a mailing list named: students
Create a mailing list named: students-request
Result:
A duplicated entry for students-request in the alias
file and in the virtual-mailman file.
Shouldn't there be a check for avoiding duplicate entries?
The postalias command reports this duplicate entry....
BTW:
The postfix-
handle the duplicate entries....
Regards
Christian

To post a comment you must log in.
Because each mailing list really consists of a number of
aliases, of which <listname>-request is one, you cannot
create a mailing list witht he same basename and -request.
While this won't change, perhaps Mailman should refuse to
create such -request mailing lists (and -owner, -bounces, etc.)
