Developers of Sympa

[Olivier Salaün <address@concealed>]

Hi Matthias,

It seems that this question is out of the scope of the sympa-beta 
mailing list. It would better fit in sympa-dev mailing list.
However, since I took the time to respond to your email, I can also 
answer your question ;-)

We have this as a feature request, see 
http://sourcesup.cru.fr/tracker/?group_id=23&atid=170&func=detail&aid=980
Since development is not planned yet.
If you wish to implement it yourself, you can either implement it 
outside of Sympa or contribute to Sympa. The later being our preferred 
solution of course.

The things you'll need to know about Sympa :

   * the List::close() subroutine closes a mailing list
   * sympa.pl --close_list=listname@robot : closes a mailing list
   * sympa.pl --purge_list=listname@robot : completely removes a
     mailing list
   * you can create additional new list parameters via the
     'custom_vars', see
     http://www.sympa.org/manual/parameters-others#custom_vars
   * the task_manager.pl process can run scheduled tasks ; it can be
     quite easily extended

If you want to further discuss your development plans, please do it in 
the sympa-dev mailing list.

Thanks
