Package: wwsympa
Version: 3.3.3-2

In our installation, for some reason a listmaster mailing
address of "listmaster"(@host) is not appropiate. For some
reason, call it localisation, we need something else. Which
can be done, I do have a line in /etc/sympa/sympa.conf to
the effect of:

> ## Listmaster
> listmaster address@concealed

However, when I view http://localhost/wws/help , that
definition does not come through.

A small bit of research showed a bug that exists at the
bottom of each file /usr/share/sympa/wws_templates/help.*.tpl.

In these files, it consistently says

> <A HREF="mailto:listmaster@[conf->host]">listmaster@[conf->host]</A>

In other words, the listmaster address "listmaster" is hard
coded into those templates.


A little more research later:

What one wants to do is, to replace these with

<A HREF="mailto:[conf->listmaster]">[conf->listmaster]</A>

But [conf-listmaster] does not exist.

At least on my system, the patch as provided at the end of
this message provides this new configuration parameter
[conf-listmaster] to the templates. It'll probably work
with robots, too, but I don't use robots and have not tested
that part.

That patch is partial, as I only provide the new parameter
[conf->listmaster] to the templates, there is no (trivial)
patch for the files help.*.tpl themselves.


Regards, and thank you for providing fine software,

Andreas
