: How would you connect 2 mailing lists? A friend of mine and I have two mailinglists (one on google groups, one on yahoogroups) concerning a similar topic. It would be convenient to connect

What you can try is merging the two lists (not manually) but using an online utility like the following.

Copy the two lists in each box. This will give you the unique list excluding any duplicate entries. Try this out!

The solution may depend on both lists settings. You should always simulate with test lists, before implementing on the real list.

Using one forward email account subscribed to both lists, customized settings and email filters may solve the problem. Gmail accounts have some basic filters, but gmail (and other free providers) will not forward if you send to many emails on a specific day. Gmail (and other free providers) may not let you customise the "Reply-to" field and that may become a problem with some settings.

In case simpler solutions don't work, you may have to script filters for your own forward mail client/server. This scripts should analyse mail headers and craft a forward message modifying them.
