The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Peter Farmer <address@concealed>]

Adam,

The HTML standards define the default maxlength for a text input field to be 
'unlimited'. Sympa certainly doesnt specify a maxlength parameter in the 
template markup. If you can type the whole query into the input field then 
it isnt the browser imposing a limit - it must be something on the server 
side.  You should check by looking at the value stored in the mailinglists 
config file after updating it from the web interface - is the query string 
stored there in full ? If so it isnt the web interface. 

If it is , have you tried entering the query directly into the lists config 
file manually (dont forget to rebuild the binary of the config with the 
'sympa.pl --reload_list_config' command) to see if that bypasses the 
truncation problem ?

If it isnt, it may be a problem with the way the sql query processed inside  
sympa - perhaps the sql query line buffer isnt long enough - just 
guessing  ....


Regards
Peter Farmer
