The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Liam Kirsher <address@concealed>]

Balazs,

If you don't want to run postmap (or, actually, postfix reload) every time 
you create a list, then put in virtual.regexp:
/^(.*)@virtualdomain\.org$/ $1-virtualdomain\.org

Plus the other aliases and regexps in my previous message.

That's convenient... however, it means address@concealed will get 
sent to sympa.  Because Spammers often try random common names at a domain, 
you will receive a lot of spam, and sympa will respond by sending a "list 
not available" message.  Then, probably, that message will bounce because 
the spammer is using a bogus account.  So you will have another bounce 
coming back at you.

In order to limit spam, I use a specific list name instead of wild card, as 
in:
/^(specific_list_name)@virtualdomain\.org$/ virtualdomain+$1

Did you try the configuration I sent previously?  What happened?

Liam
