Topic: Prevent duplicates from being sent if recipient is both in the mailing

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.6.8
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? Yes.
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 22.04
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? Yes.
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====
When sending an email to someone, and they are both in the mailing list and in the To: or Cc: headers, Sympa does not send them the list email, after checking the To: and Cc: headers.
Mailing list is list@example.com, mail sent from alice@example.com to both -> bob@example.com and list@example.com.
Bob is a part of list@example.com, therefore he receives emails from distribution lists and personal emails.

Re: Prevent duplicates from being sent if recipient is both in the mailing

That definitely doesn't happen here. I've tested a message from account A to account B and list L (which includes B). In the postfix log, I see the message being processed by amavis separately for each user in list L, but user B is only listed once.

I wonder what the difference between our setups is? For one thing, we use MariaDB rather than LDAP.

PS: "Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? Yes." Lol -- you're supposed to answer one or the other!

Re: Prevent duplicates from being sent if recipient is both in the mailing

Hello,

I wonder what the difference between our setups is? For one thing, we use MariaDB rather than LDAP. <- i am using LDAP for user management.

Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer. <-  the downloadable installer.

If User B belongs to the list list@example.com, then when User A sends a message to list@example.com, at the same time CC sends it separately to User B. This will cause User B to receive 2 duplicate messages repeat sad

Thanks,

Re: Prevent duplicates from being sent if recipient is both in the mailing

Try this: In /etc/postfix/master.cf, find transport "127.0.0.1:10028" like below:

127.0.0.1:10028 inet n  -   n   -   -  smtpd
    ...
    -o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks,no_unknown_recipient_checks

Append "no_address_mappings" to "-o receive_override_options":

127.0.0.1:10028 inet n  -   n   -   -  smtpd
    ...
    -o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks,no_unknown_recipient_checks, no_address_mappings

Then restart postfix and send testing email to reproduce the issue.

Re: Prevent duplicates from being sent if recipient is both in the mailing

Okay, I guess I misunderstood. You seem to be using true mailing lists whereas my test example above was about "simple" mailing lists (using an alias routing to multiple users -- see https://docs.iredmail.org/sql.create.mail.alias.html).

We use this method for virtually all internal working groups, and it works great. See also https://forum.iredmail.org/topic17412-c … lists.html for clarification.

So please ignore my earlier post saying it works here, as what works here is something different.

Re: Prevent duplicates from being sent if recipient is both in the mailing

Hello,

That's right, your problem doesn't seem like what I described. Sending to a list and another user who is on this list leads to that person receiving 2 messages at the same time, which is causing difficulties for me.

Looking forward to a good solution to fix it sad

Thanks,
