The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Allen, Pat" <address@concealed>]

Hi Chris -

I reposted my original message back in October and got a response. It was, 
indeed, a bug in regexp and there was a patch for it in 5.3 if that is what 
you're running. If you want to see the original thread, you can search the 
Sympa-users archive for the string "Problems with regexp". Or let me know and 
I'll forward you the emails.

Pat Allen

I traced the issue to the regex being used in wwsympa.fcgi:

                 ## Archives
                 'month' => '\d{4}\-\d{2}',

so the regex is dddd-dd, which the month in dd cannot match.  I changed the
above to:

                 ## Archives
                 'month' => '\d{2}',

After I restart the httpd service I was able to delete messages with out
issue.  So is this a bug in Sympa or a problem I created when installing
Sympa?
