The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Chris Andrews" <address@concealed>]

You have to update all the robot names in the database and the Sympa alias file.  Just stop Sympa and sendmail (so you do not lose emails sent to lists before you make the change) and then run these database updates:

 

UPDATE subscriber_table SET robot_subscriber="newname" WHERE robot_subscriber ="oldname";

UPDATE admin_table SET robot_admin=" newname " WHERE robot_admin =" oldname ";

 

Also update the Sympa config to reflect the new name.  Make sure to tell sendmail to recompile your aliases files and restart Sympa and sendmail.  You should definitely run through this procedure on your test or qa setup first, as you can screw things up if you fat finger things (plus my setup may be different then yours.)

Subject: [sympa-users] how to change sympa host name ?

 

 

Hello, I would like to change sympa host

name that is also the robot main hostname.

I tried to do it but then the lists created with the old robot hostname

does not work anymore... subscribers are losts  etc... this because

sympa stores robot hostname in the subscriber table, admin table etc...

 

is there a way to do it ?

 

thanks

 

Riccardo
