Hello -

I'm running version 5.3.4 with virtual hosts. I have the need to send out
specialized reminder messages to some of our lists on a regular basis. I am
planning to use tasks for that. I've customized the remind.yearly.task to do
what I want to do. But each reminder message only applies to a specific list
on a specific virtual host. (For example, we have a list that has email
addresses of people with sensitive accounts. They receive a regular email
reminding them to change their passwords a couple of weeks before they
expire.)

I've tried following the documentation on the web site
(http://www.sympa.org/manual/customizing/tasks) and it says that you can put
the list models in the following 4 locations:
1. /home/sympa/expl/<list path>/;
2. /home/sympa/etc/<virtual host name>/list_task_models/;
3. /home/sympa/etc/list_task_models/;
4. /home/sympa/bin/etc/list_task_models/.

I tried putting it in /home/sympa/etc/<virtual host name>/list_task_models/
but this doesn't appear to work. I can't see the new model in the
administrator's interface under the remind_task. It does work if I put it in
/home/sympa/etc/list_task_models but then every list sees the model file. By
chance I tested an alternative and found that it also worked as I wanted it
if I put the model file in /home/sympa/etc/<virtual host name>/<list
path>/list_task_models/ but this isn't listed in the documentation. Is this
something that is changed in the software versions or is this just something
that needs to be updated in the documentation?

Thanks!
Pat
