Mutiple emails sync in Mailman synchronisation
July 03, 2013, 02:02:57 am
I've seen this great guide on Mailman sync at wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC42/Mailman+synchronization

This has one weakness though that I think holds the usability of the script back quite a lot, and maybe some minor modification might address it.

The script synchronises only one (primary) email of each contact subscribed to group that is chosen for synchronisation. However, it is quite common that list members are subscribed to mailman with multiple emails from which they can post to a list, with some of them marked as "no mail" (disabled delivery in mailman).

Is it possible to modify the script in such a way that it will:
1. add all email addresses of every individual contact to mailman
2. tick those who are NOT primary email addresses as "no mail"

?

It would mean that list members can post from multiple addresses but they receive list messages only to their primary email.

I believe this would make the integration feature much more usable.

thanks
