Re: How to control order of delivery

Thank you for your response.

I am new to using mailing lists. I bought the "Managing Mailing Lists" 
by Alan Schwartz book but I cannot figure out how to implement your 
suggestion.

I only have two email addresses that I want to speed up delivery for. 
The two addresses are [email protected] and [email protected]. 
The mailing list name is lourds_announcements. Please tell me the name 
of the file and the exact command line that I would need to insert (and 
where in the file it should be placed) based on the above values.

Thanks for your help.

If this is just for one or two addresses, you might speed things along
considerably by adding the addresses directly to the aliases file.

listname: "/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l listname 
listname-outgoing,addr1,addr2"
or
listname-outgoing: addr1,addr2,:include:/path-to/lists/listname

I have a mailing list of about 1400 addresses (including my address).
When an email is posted to the list, I get my copy from 30 to 45 minutes
later. I tried move my email address to the top of the list of names but
I still did not receive my copy quickly.

Does the Majordomo software send out the emails in alphabetical order of
the addresses (regardless of the order in the address list file) or what
controls the order of delivery.?

Is there a way to configure the distribution so that two particular
addresses get the emails first (and hopefully quickly)?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out.
