The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün <address@concealed>]

Hi Jeff,

That seems to be a bug indeed.
Please submit a bug report on 
<https://sourcesup.cru.fr/tracker/?group_id=23> and provide enough 
elements so that we can reproduce the phenomena (including what kind of 
sympa message/notice you triggered).
