Hi all!

We have been using your most excellent mailing list manager sympa for
over almost one year now and now we want more. :)

The problem in short --we want to have a moderated list (on a virtual
domain) where when a moderator accepts/rejects an incoming email it
will trigger some event in addition to the ones in sympa, eg execute
arbitrary program.

A Somewhat longer description --we are running a site where any user
is able too submit a news item via a web page. Before actually
submitting the news item we want it to be moderated by at least on of
our editors and they want to use email for doing so. So my idea is to
use sympa, letting the news item be sent to a moderated mailing list
(all members on this list are also moderators). When a moderator
accepts a news item it will not only archive the email with mhonarc,
but also trigger something so it will be publish on the web (rss, html
etc).

So what I need to know, is there something in sympa to trigger 3rd
party programs when accepting/rejecting messages easily? If no, where
should I look, in the archive.pl programme? Maybe even someone is
using sympa in this way?

Been browsing your docs and faqs. Searched the archives of this list.
But I could not find anything.

yours,
/robert
