The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi,

Indeed, the email address was case sensitive for this matter. It was a 
bug I fixed. However, as we are about to release the Sympa 6.0 stable 
version, we will include this bug fix in the Sympa 6 branch only.

Here is a patch you can apply to your Sympa 5.4.7 installation that 
should resolve your problem:

&List::get_which($param->{'user'}{'email'},$robot, $role) ) {
            ## Go through owners/editors of the list
            foreach my $admin (@{$list->{'admin'}{$role}}) {
-              next unless ($admin->{'email'} eq $param->{'user'}{'email'});
+              next unless (lc($admin->{'email'}) eq 
lc($param->{'user'}{'email'}));

              ## Update entry with new email address
              $admin->{'email'} = $in{'email'};


I'll fix that in the Sympa 6.0 branch too.

Thanks for reporting this bug!

Regards,

David Verdin
