[scenario] How to limit the number of email address when responding to a list

Question

I have looked at the documentation but did not find any answer. Some list members are using their email client to spread messages from one particular list to another. To do so they add some list email addresses to the 'To', 'Cc' or 'Bcc' fields, when answering to a list message. So, is there any way to prevent users to add more than n lists when responding to a list? For instance :

From: list1@lists To: list2@lists, list3@lists Cc: list4@lists Bcc: list5@lists, ...

Hi @PgAuffret ,

I think it is impossible to limit the number of recipients by any funtion of Sympa, e.g. the scenarios. Even if it was possible, that is inadequate because there is no way to know the BCC addresses.

Hello @ikedas, Thank you for your answer. I was hoping it would be possible to write something like less_than([number_of_email_address_per_field],'1') smtp,smime,md5 -> do_it. However, as you said, 'To', 'CC' nor ' 'Bcc' variables seem to exist. There is a reference to is_bcc variable. But obviously it is not meant to test the content of the field.
