The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Bea,

We've added your mysql-enabled alias_manager to the Sympa distribution : http://sourcesup.cru.fr/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/sympa/src/etc/script/

It will be part of the next release of Sympa. The mysql_alias_manager.pl script will be installed along with other scripts at "make install" time.

I had the same problem and wrote a new alias_manager.pl (from ldap one). 
I uploaded it to the sympa wiki : http://www.sympa.org/wiki/faq/qmail (at the
very bottom of the page).
  

I think what's needed is an alternative to alias_manager.pl script.
Presumably there must be other sympa users who are using qmail instead
of sendmail, and therefore need an alias_manager.pl script which
creates .qmail-listname files? This is one step on from that.

Hi Nick,

We never heard of such mysql-enabled alias manager.
If you wish to contribute, I suggest you work on generalizing the 
testldap.pl script that is distributed with Sympa, to make it mysql 
aware. Base your work on the latest CVS version of it.

Has anyone written a replacement script to generate aliases for lists 
when the mail is handled by qmail and vpopmail using MySQL databases to
store the aliases, i.e. using the valias table?

I figure it ought to be straightforward to do so, but I don't want to 
re-invent someone else's wheel...
