The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Sylvain Amrani <address@concealed>]

Hi,

You can use families to do that. You parameters are entries in your xml file.

You can also use ldap2_level queries :

1. you store your source_parameters in your ldap directory
2. the 1st ldap query requests the source_parameters
3. the 2nd ldap query use the result of the 1st one.

Sylvain.

I'm not looking to include a file that has the list of users, I'm
looking to use an inclusion file.  That inclusion file can specify a
query that will be executed with parameters substituted.

The example for the owners_include:

in the config file:
    owner_include
    source myfile
    source_parameters COURSE_SECTION,TERMCODE

in myfile.incl
    include_ldap_query
    host ldap.server.edu
    suffix o=server,o=edu
    filter (&(course=[% param.0 %])(term=[% param.1 %]))
    attrs mail
    select all
    scope sub

That would cause the filter to be:
    filter (&(course=COURSE_SECTION)(term=TERMCODE))

Is this setup possible for subscribers also?

The overall goal is to have 3 inclusion files that can be referenced by
100s or 1000s of course lists.  Then if the requirements change for the
lists, only one place requires alteration.

Yes.  Use the list config setting "include_file"

include_file <path to file>

This parameter will be interpreted only if the user data source value is set to include. The file should contain one e-mail address per line with an optional user description, separated from the email address by spaces (lines beginning with a �#� are ignored).

Sample included file :
     ## Data for Sympa member import
     address@concealed John Smith - math department
     address@concealed Sarah Hanrahan - physics department

I've got a (hopefully quick) question about subscriber includes.

Is it possible to have the subscriber list use an inclusion file?

I know I can do LDAP, SQL, file (as a list of addresses and names),
etc., but I can't determine if I could use an inclusion file for
subscribers in a similar manner as the owner_include and editor_include
parameters.
