The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Patrick von der Hagen <address@concealed>]

Hi all,

Sympa-doc says (http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node16.html#virtual-robot):
"Note that the main limitation of virtual hosts in Sympa is that you 
cannot create 2 lists with the same name (local part) among your virtual 
hosts."

Sympa-faq says:
"May I define several list using the same name ?

The need is to define two list named for exemple address@concealed and 
address@concealed running virtual robot definition.

The answer is yes . This was not true with version prior to 5.2 because 
of the database structure. Now Sympa support full virtual robot without 
any limitation."


I hope the faq is correct and the dos is outdated. ;-)

However, I had some problems today when creating a second host.
Currently all lists are at ~/expl/LOCALPART
I created ~/etc/lists.newdomain.org, copied the sample robot.conf to 
this location and edited it.
I created ~/expl/lists.newdomain.org and created two lists. One with a 
conflicting name, one with a unique name. The one using the unique name 
did work, however the other one misbehaves. Basically, it seems to take 
(at least part of) the other lists configuration (the new one is public, 
the "earlier" one is closed, postings to the new one are denied by sympa).

I admit I can't provide much useful information yet, so lets stick to 
the first question at the moment: ist address@concealed and 
address@concealed possible?

Sympa is 5.2.1 here.
