Developers of Sympa

["Jason Holland" <address@concealed>]

Thanks for the info David!

We maintain a database that contains more than email information, stuff like 
names, addresses, transactions, orders, subscriptions, etc. This database is 
a multivalue database and since Sympa can't "talk" to our type of database we 
are using MySQL for Sympa. 

I wrote a program that will export our email data so it can be imported into 
Sympa, now I need to write a program that can "mirror" Sympa's bounce 
management. So my goal is whenever Sympa removes a bounced email I want our 
main database to be updated too so we don't keep creating new email lists 
with bad email addresses.

Thanks again!
Jason

Hi,

"remove_bouncers" is executed by the task_manager.pl
However, I don't understand what you want to do: When Sympa removes a 
bouncing email, it removes the user from the database.
It removes it in the subscribers table first. Then another task 
regularly removes users without subscription.

What do you to do beyond this?
