Developers of Sympa

[Thomas Berry <address@concealed>]

  Sympa does not like to have a purely web editor/owner configuration. 
If both the editor and owner configurations in the list are set with 
"reception nomail" the message will be queued but the sender gets a 
message indicating an external error occurred, "Impossible to distribute 
your message for list 'testlist' because of an internal server error." 
Change the editor or owner to "reception mail" and a message is sent to 
the sender letting them know the message is queued and waiting for approval.

  I think it is preferable if the sender is notified that the message 
is waiting for approval even if the list is configured with "reception 
nomail" for both owner and editor.

  FYI.  This does not account for the disappearing editors.  Maybe 
Sympa removes the editor if it matches the owner?
