Developers of Sympa

[Thomas Berry <address@concealed>]

We synchronize the list members--those that aren't self-subscribed--of 
our lists with LDAP.  Often, when checking the member total for a list, 
the count returns 0.  Although, when a list of member email addresses is 
retrieved, the list has over 7000 members.

The count can be restored if a refresh of the list (with its source) is 
initiated.  But, for lists as large as this, it is not practical to do 
this every time the count is zero.


I've been using the List.pm method get_total.

my $list = List->new($listname, $robot);
my $total = $list->get_total();
printf "$listname has $total members\n";

I've also tried using the "nocache" option, but that returns no value.

I looked at the Sympa 6.0 code, and the method hasn't changed.

Any ideas?
