The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Dempsey, Steve AZ" <address@concealed>]

I found in the sympa-users archives an old post from 15 Jan 2007 asking
how to disable remind_task.

https://listes.cru.fr/sympa/arc/sympa-users/2007-01/msg00022.html

Conclusion was this 'needs work' and no partial work-around was considered
because it is a global problem.  Apparently it still needs work.

I attempted to install 2 new variations called remind.never.task and
remind.daily.task using v5.3.4.  The remind.daily.task looks like this:

    title.gettext remind message sent to subscribers every day

    /INIT
    next([execution_date]+1d,EXEC)

    /EXEC
    @selection = select_subs (older([execution_date]))
    send_msg (@selection, remind)
    next([execution_date]+1d,EXEC)

The remind.never task does only stop(), but I would have no way to
confirm it is effective without waiting for the default 2month reminder.

    title.gettext remind message NOT sent to subscribers

    /INIT
    stop()

   /EXEC
   stop()

These items show up in the web interface.  I used the remind.daily.task
to test if the reminder schedule would change.  A manual reminder was
sent just before configuring the daily version.  After more than 48 hours
it did not trigger.  Should this work?  Is there an alternative?

I have a collection dynamic-membership lists containing thousands of 
subscribers
used for customer communications, configured using include_file.  Because 
they are
auto-generated, the list members cannot unsubscribe and reminders simply are 
not
appropriate.
