[Mailman-Users] Emails Not Getting Through?

[Chad Frederick]

With topics, people don't get messages that they don't Specifically sign
up for.
Also, if you're using topics, be sure to enter in the topic keywords in
(parentheses), else the whole thing doesn't work.

In some strange cases, users will get duplicate copies of the same list
message. "No dupes" actives a clause that will try to prevent that
should it ever happen.

Have you used the topics?  I was really interested in that - I wanted to
create basically a sub-group "flow."  I 'm not using it yet so I doubt
that was it but thanks a lot.  I just unchecked "no dupes" for people.
I don't really get what that means.  Do you know?  The interface looks
like it was programmed by aliens, not japanese haha.
