The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Stewart James <address@concealed>]

I sort of took the log messages as warnings as the message was being
created,

What has me stumped is why sympa is flagging the message as bad and
moving it into the bad directory. e.g.
sympa[7688]: Moving bad file address@concealed to
bad/

Looking at the message their does not seem to be a problem with it.

Being in a bind at the moment I canty upgrade to a beta on this system
(I want to, you know management and beta don;t mix), I have dow graded
to the backup I took just before the upgrade I did in December (the
/home/sympa/bin and subdirs anyway).

Restarted things and all seems fine. I guess I will know for sure over
the next few hours/days.

I am looking forward to v4 of sympa, some of the changes sound quite
interesting and I hate having to have locally patched versions of
things.

Thanks again Olivier,

Stewart
