The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Anton Slabbinck <address@concealed>]

Hi,

Normaly this should work, but there is an error in load_subscribers.pl

$db_host = $Conf{'host'};
$db_user = $Conf{'user'};
$db_passwd = $Conf{'passwd'};

should be 

$db_host = $Conf{'db_host'};
$db_user = $Conf{'db_user'};
$db_passwd = $Conf{'db_passwd'};

Anton.
