Same message rules
These rules are using to manage duplicate messages.
Note
Identical messages sent to multiple segments or lists by the administrator through the administrative
web interface are always allowed. However, members are going to only receive one copy of the message if Cross-Postings
and Duplicates is set to Make Sure That Multiple Copies of Cross-postings Are Removed
The table below explains the fields available:

Allow Duplicate Postings |
A duplicate posting occurs when one person attempts to post a seemingly identical message to the same mailing list or segment more than once in one day Note This setting only applies to messages received via email or posted through the discussion forum interface. Duplicate postings by an administrator through the web interface are always allowed. Aurea List Manager looks at the entire message body to determine if a posting appears to be a duplicate Note If duplicate postings are sent in multipart-alternative format, the content of the message may be the same but the boundaries may differ, causing a seemingly duplicate posting to be sent Normally, duplicate postings are the result of the author not being careful and sending the same message twice, or of some Internet mail error where the same message is delivered twice It is recommended to leave this settings as default since there usually is no good reason why your list members are going to want to receive the same message twice. Also, this feature is quite effective as a mail-loop prevention technique, when people attach a misbehaving automatic email answering program to their email address. |

Allow Cross-Posting? |
This setting determines if messages that are cross-posted are rejected by Aurea List Manager or if they are allowed onto the list A cross-posted message is a single message sent to more than one mailing list or segment on a server. For example, in the To: field of an email message, the author can list several mailing lists and thus deliver the same message to several lists Note Messages are compared with others posted to the list in the past 24 hours. Older postings are not considered Archives must be kept for at least one day for cross-posted messages to be removed By default, email marketing and announcement allow cross-posting, but discussion lists does not.
If Allow Cross-posting? is set to In general, cross-posting to mailing lists is considered bad Internet etiquette and, occasionally, it is a method used by spammers to disseminate inappropriate email. However, there are many circumstances where it is appropriate. For example, if there are two mailing lists or segments that deal with related topics, and messages appropriate to both groups are written, the author may want the message to be distributed to both mailing lists Note This setting only applies to messages received via email or posted through the discussion forum interface. Cross-posting is always allowed by the administrator through the administrative web interface. |

Cross-Postings and Duplicates |
If cross-posting is allowed, this setting determines what members of multiple lists or subsets are going to receive. Note Archives must be kept for at least one day for cross-posted messages to be removed By default, members do not receive duplicate cross-posted messages. For example, if a message is posted to two lists or segments and one person (one email address) is a member
of both those lists or segments, the person receives one copy of the posting, because the setting
is Note If you have a parent/child list relationship and you also want to have cross-posting enabled and no duplicates sent to members, you need to allow for Cross Posting under Utilities > List Settings > Basic Information > Enable Featuress along with However, there may be situations where you want people to receive copies as posted to the lists
or segments. If that is the case, change this setting to " This example explains how this feature works. Say you have several announcement lists where you
post articles about various topics. You have lists named Now, say that you have an announcement about a video game for playing soccer and you feel
that it is appropriate for both the If you post your message to both If you are set to If you are set to This feature is particularly useful with announcement lists where you want to split your lists into various topics, but you have messages that apply to several topics. With other list managers, people receive multiple copies. With Aurea List Manager, the duplicate messages are removed and people receive only one copy. This feature works the same way when sending to multiple segments. For example, if you want
to make an announcement to all administrators on your server. When selecting recipients for a mailing,
you may select the administrators segment for each list. If your lists are set to |
