As you can see, this is Sympa on my local machine, which I'm just
testing&configuring before I put it on my Faculty network.

Now, this user address@concealed is already defined in LDAP
database, and she can login that way already.

But, if I try to send her a password at jelena@localhost, it works fine.

So, what's the trick? Sympa doesn't like users coming from LDAP, when
it's supposed to add them in database, or what?

Why is it complaining about missing template (it exists only for
communication with users by email, but not as WWS template)?

If I make a WWS template called sendpasswd.tpl, it will be shown instead
of this error with no problems. But then again, what should it do?

Is this a feature or a bug? ;)

Oh yes, by the way, I think I'll be doing a bit of changing in the
modules to add BACK buttons to each page (it's really annoying to keep
pressing BACK in browser when doing Sympa administration, for instance,
because it returns too deeply back sometimes), so I was wondering is
that a problem with you, Sympa authors, and are you interested in those
changes, for a future versions?

Thanks.

BTW your reply came from your own email address, instead of list's
(should it be so?) but I'm replying to the list, because it might be
usefull to somebody else.
