The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

Hi,

are there any situations where sympa 'forgets' that one ore more
lists has 'send closed' defined? I have had the following situation:

+) migration from Mailman to Sympa of about
   100 Lists

+) double-checked all migrated list-configurations (without problems)

+) list x had 'send closed'

+) some mails got through list x (not send by listmaster,
   moderator or owner)

+) these mails got delivered to about 3000 recipients

+) some replied and complained about these mails ...  and soon we
have
   had thousands of mails passing through sympa ...

+) ALL of these mails (which got delivered although they shouldn't -
   as defined via 'send closed') were NOT archived too! (there is
NOTHING
   left by sympa that could proove the delivery of these mails,
except
   the sympa logfile of course) ... all other (allowed) mails got
   archived well

+) after some despairing actions to close the list (setting it
   from closed to closed - because it WAS configured as closed)
   it finally worked and all new mails got rejected (we now have 
   about revisions and the actual configuration all showing the
   same values for 'send')

It seems sympa didn't care a bit about this setting ;-( (under which
circumstances soever) ... does anybody have similar experiences with
sympa regarding this problem(s) and could give me a hint?

Kind regards,
  Andreas
