The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

The mass-deletion feature is available since Sympa 5.2. It adds a checkbox in front of each message in the month view, if the user has list owner or listmaster privileges. If you have just upgraded to 5.2.1, you need to run a "rebuild" process first because all the web archives pages are static web pages that won't take the latest template into account. The "rebuild archive" feature is restricted to listmasters and is therefore available via the "sympa admin" page.

Note that the mass-deletion checkboxes are only available via the chronological view, not via the Thread page. But we'll extend this in the next Sympa release...

If you run sympa 5.2.1 and access the archive as listmaster (probably listowner too, but haven't tried that) in month-view and navigate a page back, sympa suddenly shows a checkbox in front of each message, which can be used to perform mass-deletion. And now you can navigate back to the page you started from, which will now show checkboxes too.

Hi Patrick, I just upgraded to 5.2.1 to try this but I don't see any checkboxes no matter where I navigate. I'm the Listmaster, but I'm not a subscriber, could that matter?

PS Maybe by editing the database? or the file system?

below arc/LISTNAME@DOMAIN you will find a directory for each month.

Ignore the html-files. In arctxt you will find a text-file for each

message. Identify the ones which are spam, delete them and as listmaster

select "rebuild archives" for the given list. The html-files will be

regenerated.

Is "rebuild archives" an option in the admin web interface? I can't find it.
