The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Jeff Abbott <address@concealed>]

Hello,

I am evaluating Sympa for as a migration path away from Majordomo --  
we've had our Majordomo installation running here for somewhere  
between 10 and 15 years -- and one of the things that has confused me  
about Sympa is its aliases for a list, namely listname-owner and  
listname-request.  From Majordomo, I and our users are both  
accustomed to listname-owner going to the owner(s) of a list.

Why does Sympa use listname-request for this purpose, and when  
exactly is listname-owner used?  And finally, is there a way that I  
might be able to switch the two?  Is it as simple as pointing  
listname-owner at "|/etc/smrsh/queue address@concealed" rather  
than having it pipe to bouncequeue?  We're going to be migrating  
lists from Majordomo and it would be highly confusing to users if all  
of a sudden the listname-owner address no longer contacted the list's  
owner.

Thanks,
Jeff
