When a user tries to create a new list under Sympa 5.0.1 they fill out their list creation form and the information is passed from wwsympa.fcgi to admin::create_list_old. Create_list_old does some checking to see if the information is correct and if not it returns undef. This means that the Web server can only report that the creation failed but not WHY it failed. In the case of an illegal character in the listname this can be very frustrating for a user that doesn't know what the problem is.

There needs to be a way to pass error-codes back to wwsympa from the list creation code! Is anyone working on this or should I implement something myself?


Thanks!
