OK, I set it to 20. We have to do that for each list, too. Let us know if there is another list that runs in to this problem. - Karsten

May I ask, is everyone in the discussion registered for the list? If so, perhaps you can avoid including them all in the "To:" or "CC:" lines? 20 people CCed is a lot for a mailing list. 10 sounds much more reasonable to me. We can also change the mailing list rules to remove members of the list from the CC list of emails you get - this should ensure that only people who are not subscribed to the list stay CCed.

Dave, that's a good question, which I thought of before writing my initial mail. The simple answer is: "I don't know for sure". Actually is there a way for me to list the members of a specific list? I know there are many users in subscribed to relevant lists (for vdsm, infra, etc), but removing one or more from a thread can actually become an insult. So as a habit I really prefer to avoid it. I really hope that 10 recipients along with mailman removing redundancy will do the trick.

Actually, Karsten already upped the limit to 20, so the question is moot.

This is a per-user setting - "Avoid duplicate emails". I imagine that the option was set to false by default (I always set it to true). This has a double effect - if someone sends an email to the mailing list with you CCed, you only get the email once, and your address is removed from the CC list. It's not possible for us to change the option for everyone without hacking the database, but anyone who would like to have this option on can change it themselves on the listinfo page (and if you check "Change globally", it will be set for all lists on the server at the same time).

That is true for using the CLI tools, but I think all the lists use the default Mailman setting for "private_roster" of "List members", meaning if you are a member of the list you can see the roster. It then shows you the list users in alphabetical groupings. For those with sudo access to lists.ovirt.org, you can run: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members $LISTNAME

Yeah, I don't disagree with you that 10 should be reasonable, but we've got a cross-list situation where this is going to keep happening, I think. It's good we've segmented development discussions properly, but it means cross-posting happens, the recipient list grows, and I'm not going to get in a minor skirmish with everyone to get them to trim the recipient fields. :)

I haven't made tweaking that setting part of the standard settings for anything, but maybe it should be. http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Creating_and_configuring_mailing_lists

I'd be OK with us hacking the database; IIRC it's not that big a deal, if it really helps. I reckon we should ask people. We can also change our standard so new users get the new standard.

I personally don't read all the lists I'm registered to in the same frequency. If someone is adding my name in the cc list I leave it in my inbox instead of a secondary folder (by list) and I usually get to handle it faster. I manage my rules to avoid duplications, so I keep only one copy for any mail. So for example if I reply on a certain thread, I would most likely get the rest of the thread to my inbox, unless someone removed me from the cc :(. Livnat

Cheers, Dave.
Actually in some cases I share Livnat's procedure. One more thing WRT subscribers' list, I just noticed the following in the web UI, which means I can't really tell if a specific recipient is subscribed to a specific list; " Conceal yourself from subscriber list? When someone views the list membership, your email address is normally shown (in an obscured fashion to thwart spam harvesters). If you do not want your email address to show up on this membership roster at all, select Yes for this option. " Anyway, Karsten & Dave- thanks for the effort and good will! Doron

I see no reason for such a restriction. we increased it a long time ago for other lists that encountered this issue.
We can also change the mailing list rules to remove members of the list from the CC list of emails you get - this should ensure that only people who are not subscribed to the list stay CCed.
-1 from me. if someone cc'd me, i'd like to get this directly to my mailbox rather than to the mailing list folder.
