The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün <address@concealed>]

Hi Marco,

The "idle timeout" error happens when wwsympa.fcgi takes too long to 
process a request. It might be legitimate if you are running a big 
mailing list server with lots of lists, because then the initialization 
process takes long. Note that the fastcgi technology allows to run 
persistent processes that will last as long as your web server is not 
restarted.

You should consider extending the idle_timeout parameter of your fastCGI 
Apache module.
Check the -idle-timeout startup option for FastCgiServer :
