The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Alfonso Marín Marín <address@concealed>]

Hello,

To remove completly a list from WWSympa, I use to do this:
   - First I close the list, as you do
   - Second I enter in WWSympa as listmaster, and I go to 'Sympa 
admin'. There I select 'Closed lists', and selecting the lists I want 
remove, I press 'Purge selected lists'

I don't really know if exists another way to do this via OS command, but 
my way works fine.

To see the 'Status' of all list I think you can't, but the four buttons 
in Sympa Admin (Pending lists, Latest lists, Inactive lists and Closed 
lists) are very useful

I hope helped you

Alfonso
