Hi,

While experimenting with a sympa installation, I discovered that messages
sent to sympa lists with words that sympa interprets as potential commands
get refused with an error that reads in part:

"The following message was sent to a list while it seems to contain commands like
subscribe, unsubscribe, help, index, get, ..."

This is a very usefull feature to prevent commands often sent to the list address. But if you wish to disable this feature or change this behavior, please check these sections of the reference manual : http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node7.html#SECTION00745000000000000000

A quick search of the ./etc/mail_tt2 directory revealed this template was not
there. After some digging, I found the message in ./bin/tools.pl. Which leads
me to a few questions:

* Why is this message not part of the template area? This is not meant to be
accusitory, I'm genuinely confused as to why this single message isn't where
all the other messages are.

We had a pre-tt2 period in the sympa development history and the tt2 migration was not finished untill the current 5.2 development version that is 100% TT2 customizeable. Just a bit of patience...

* The message also reads "Please contact the manager of the service : %s so that they can
take care of your message", yet no notice was sent to the listmaster and no mechanism seems
to be in place to "pass on" the message. Does such a mechanism exist? Where/how would I
work with it?

* Is there a way to alter this behavior? We're a national non-profit which deals with
mental health issues (http://www.nami.org), and "help" in particular will be
an extremely common component of message subjects sent to groups.

Ok I understand ; please check the previous URL that points to the right parameter.
