The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

If connection with syslogd was lost Sympa tries to reconnect using
standard Sys:Syslog perl module.
But Sys::Syslog is somehow radical when it cannot connect to syslogd.
Bellow is an extract from Syslog.pm :

         connect(SYSLOG,$that) || croak "connect: $! (SOCK_DGRAM after trying 
SOCK_STREAM)";

You'd better have a running syslogd ;-)
