The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Tim Koop <address@concealed>]

Thanks Chris and Olivier.

If the command line is not an option, I don't mind poking into Sympa's database myself.  Can somebody confirm that a simple delete of a record in subscriber_table would do the trick, even while Sympa is in the middle of a mailing?

What about this:

 

The file format is:

 

## Data to be imported

## email gecos

address@concealed John - accountant

address@concealed  Mary - secretary

 

The full name part is optional.

 

The command is:

 

cat <file containing email address> | /var/sympa/sbin/sympa.pl –import=<list@robot>

 

For example

 

List: testlist

 

Robot: robothost.com

 

File: named emails.txt

 

address@concealed

address@concealed

 

Command:

 

cat emails.txt | /var/sympa/sbin/sympa.pl --address@concealed

 

I found this in the Sympa doc or wiki, I do not remember where.  There was no delete option mentioned.,

No there is no feature to add/remove/edit list members from the

command-line.

 

If you want to write your own tool for manipulating list members, you

should definitely have a loook at the Sympa SOAP interface :
