The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[address@concealed]

I'm a new user and have some questions, and also some comments and feedback.

1. Had a frustrating time installing Sympa due to setting the log level to >= 
2.  That causes wwsympa.fcgi to crash with this in the httpd server log:
[Wed Apr 14 21:10:13 2004] [error] [client 24.5.39.212] FastCGI: server 
"/home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi" stderr: Modification of a read-only value 
attempted at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Sys/Syslog.pm line 
287.
I eventually found somebody else had had a similar problem, but this is a 
real stopper.  Maybe someone that knows more than I do can take a look at it, 
or at least document it in the installation instructions?

2. All the subscribers I entered using the Import facility have an extra 
space character and '\r' character appended to their names.  This screws up 
the display when looking at them in MySQL.  Are they supposed to have that 
character there?

3. A message just showed up in the Archive, but was not delivered via SMTP.  
Hmmm.  That's not good!  The only thing different about it was that it had 
multiple addresses in the To: line.  That's just a guess as to why it was not 
delivered.  (In Postfix I'm using the virtual.regexp trick, so I wonder if 
that would correctly match the address... but if it didn't, how would the 
message even be received by sympa?)  I *must* fix this... any clues?

4. Minor problem... it seems like the password string is not trimmed for 
leading/trailing whitespace when checking login via wwsympa, and it should be 
-- in my opinion.  Logins fail when the user enters, for example, 'init23456 
' even though the trailing space is invisible in the form text box.

Other than that, however, things are running smoothly now and I'm looking 
forward to customizing the interface, and playing with some of the features.

Thanks in advance for any help on #3!
