TAD 2010 Day 2: Posting the same thing to multiple Posterous sites without redundant syndication

[repost]

I've been trying to cross-post to my own personal Posterous (ledlab.posterous.com) as well as the thing-a-day Posterous, however doing this resulted in syndication everywhere for every site posted to.

Turns out Posterous allows you to specify the service to syndicate to with the email (see the Tips and Tricks section).

Sending a mail to post@yoursite.posterous.com will syndicate everywhere.  posterous@yoursite.posterous.com only shows up on posterous.  Putting these two together, you can cross-post without redundant syndication by simply sending mail to post@yoursite.posterous.com and posterous@thing-a-day.posterous.com.

Thanks to Sachin for getting back to me so quickly on this question.

This may have to do for my TAD as I've had a busy day.
