Hi Bill,

When I had this working it didn't happen that way. If a user posted from the Mailing list it went to the forum and obviously from the mailing list out to the subscribed members, which is the correct behaviour. When A forum member replies to an 'imported' post it too gets sent to the mailing list subscribers.

Are you saying that you get two posts from an imported message in the mailing list, that would be odd I have only ever seen one.

It gets sent from the mailing list to the forum, which is, as far as the mailing list is concerned, just another member. It also gets sent to the members of the mailing list.

The forum immediately sends it back to the mailing list, just as it does for something posted on it natively. The mailing list then processes it again, sends it to all the subscribers again and also back to the forum. This time, the forum recognises it as a duplicate and stops the merry-go-round, but it does mean that everybody who is subscribed to the mailing list receives everything twice - the original message and the one sent back by the forum. The only messages being sent to the mailing list members once are those that originate on the forum.
