The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

You also have to have a "topics.conf" file in each virtual robot's
directory under etc, even if it's blank (I think) -- I haven't seen
this documented anywhere, though maybe it's changed in the current
versions of Sympa -- I'm still on 3.5.5, alas.

Hi Folks,

I've just upgraded from Sympa 3.4.4 to 3.4.4.1

While doing so, I've changed the configuration from a single server to two
virtual robots.

I think I'm doing something wrong in configuring things.

1. I'd like the first virtual robot to retain the lists and configuration
of the original single-server configuration.  I've created a etc/list
subdirectory and a robot.conf file - but when I go to that domain, I'm
getting only the config info from /etc/sympa.conf - it's not getting
overridden by etc/list/robot.conf -- what am I doing wrong?
Let's say the cirtual robot is for domain civicorg.net : you have to create 
etc/civicorg.net/robot.conf and
expl/civicorg.net/<listname>
The virtual domain to use is chooseen

by sympa.pl using the queue program argument which is the list adress but not 
the listname. using aliases *
mylist:|..../queue address@concealed

by wwsympa.fcgi using the SERVER_NAME cgi environement variable compared with 
each robot.conf  http_host parameter


2. The 2nd virtual robot seems to be working properly, but... my email
address and password seem to be carried over from the old setup.  Do
virtual robots share the same user/password database? Is there a way to
have completely separate user/password spaces?
This is a feature not a bug. If you need completly separated database you 
need to install sympa twice on the same server
