The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[address@concealed]

Hallo Rudolf,

thanks for your answer. After further investigations i`ve found out, that
the 
success of the owner approval action depends on the subscribers email
addresses.

E.g. 

If i subscribe from my external mail address: address@concealed, the command
"auth d41b9458 ADD yourlist address@concealed" is working.

Answer:

   User address@concealed is now subscriber of list yourlist.



But if i try to subscribe to the list from my Outlook, the command
"auth d41b9458 ADD yourlist address@concealed" fails.

AND this happens to all company internal subscribers who use Outlook
(everyone).

Answer:

   The authentication process failed

   You probably confirmed your subscription using a different
   email address. Please try subscribing using your canonical address.



Under $SYMPA_HOME/spool/subscribers/ i have 2 files:

-rw-r--r--   1 sympa    104           21 Oct  4 10:22
yourlist.1096878144.102
-rw-r--r--   1 sympa    104           23 Oct  4 11:03
yourlist.1096878870.564

one file contains: address@concealed the other one
address@concealed.

In both cases i send the confirmation mail using my Outlook.

Are there any other directories containing information about subscription 
requests or any other ideas?


regards Oliver Walter

Hi,

Even for the authorization email it is necessary to set the from field
to the owner-address (just in case you use forwarding).
In mutt that is done by pressing escape f in the send-menu.

Perhaps that helps.
Yours, Rudolf
