The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Tomas,

The right to send messages to a list is defined by the 'send' list 
parameter. The value of this parameter refers to an authorization 
scenario (you'll find the default ones in bin/etc/scenari/), let's say 
send.private that defines who is authorized to perform the action ('send 
a message' in the current example) with what authentication level (SMTP, 
password (md5) or X509 certificate (smime)). Let's take an example :
List 'test' has a config file with a 'send restricted' parameter.
It refers to the /home/sympa/etc/scenari/send.restricted scenario that 
could be :
   title.us    restricted to 3 email addresses

   equal([sender],'email1@mydom') smtp,md5,smime -> do_it
   equal([sender],'email2@mydom') smtp,md5,smime -> do_it
   equal([sender],'email3@mydom') smtp,md5,smime -> do_it
   true()                                             smtp,md5,smime -> 
reject

Only 3 users are allowed to send a message in the onfiguration.

The drawback of this method is that you'll have to customize every 
send.xx scenarios you might be using in you mailing lists. You could 
rather use the /home/sympa/etc/scenari/include.send.header that defines 
a set of scenario rules that will be evaluated first whatever send.xx 
scenario is used.

Now if you have this list of people email addresses defined in LDAP you 
could define an LDAP filter to refer to an LDAP population within a 
scenario rule. PLease read the documentation for more information on 
this feature :
