Hi,

I am a new sympa user. I have installed it on a test setup
for a company I work for, and if I can get it work for the
task of setting up virtual robots, it will probably be used
for pretty large installation. However, the second virtual
robot I set up doesn't allow me to create new lists. If I
create a list named "testlist", for example, it says

testlist: unknown list

on the page after pressing the submit button to create the
list.

This message appears to come from check_param_in() in
wwsympa.cgi. (I renamed the file to .cgi from .fcgi because I
don't have that fast cgi stuff set up.) On line 1151 it says:

if ($in{'list'}) {
unless ($list = new List ($in{'list'}, $robot)) {
&error_message('unknown_list', {'list' => $in{'list'}} );
&wwslog('info','check_param_in: unknown list %s', $in{'list'});
return undef;
}

which is what is failing. I am still in the process of putting
debug printouts in the code and trying to figure out what is
going on.

It seems that the two arguments to "new List()" are set to the
new list name and the robot name.

I had set up sympa with a default domain, and it works fine for
that robot, and only the virtual robot is having the problems.
I am using Debian testing, and sympa version 4.1.2.

Has anyone had a similar problem ?
