The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[address@concealed]

Hi,

I'm no expert, however by modifying the original script that comes with the 
debian package, I got this to work. Note that you may need to change the 
first few varuables if you are not using the default configuration.

The script should be place in /etc/init.d/ and the whole /home/sympa needs to 
be owned by the user sympa is running as. So, for default configuration first 
do: "chown -R sympa:sympa /home/sympa".

You might want to put the script in "Shared Web". Any 
improvements/corrections is welcome.

NOTE: This is for Debian. If I had time, I'll create a similar one for SuSE.

Regards,
Saman
