I don't think we want to go into this direction...
    
fair enough - but I NEED to have _at least_ topics + html & topics + text only available (forget digests+topics) to match the functionality on the existing system i am replacing with SYMPA . 
Otherwise I will have to create 154+ mailinglists each with only 1 (fixed) topic instead of  1 list with 154+ topics - which seems much easier to implement, especially as I will be building custom pages in our CMS to handle the default web based subscription process anyway. The mailinglist that I want to create for this project is basically sending the latest version of a specific web page to interested subscribers every time its contents are significantly updated (and yes we do have RSS feeds, but we also have 20000 subscribers who prefer the email updates)

So if i am going to go ahead and implement this, I guess I could create this array of combinations and allow the ones that I need or are easy to implement (and that make sense 8-), and block anything that isnt implemented or sensible.
 
If it cant be folded back into the main code base then I'll just have to maintain a set of patches . It would be nice to fold it back in though ...
  
If you're going to do development, we can try to integrate it wih Sympa.
Here are the main criterias for us to ease the integration :
  • talk design with us before coding (what pieces of code to change, what behavior,...)
  • make the changes as local as possible and as small as possible
