The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Paul Menzel <address@concealed>]

Dear Sympa users,


yesterday a subscriber (Joe User) told me that his reply to a list did
not get delivered.

Joe was right. Looking in Sympa’s log files the message had been
processed by Sympa.

    Feb  9 14:36:48 sympaserver sympa[756]: main::DoFile() Processing 
/address@concealed ; sender: Joe 
User <address@concealed>  ; message-id: 
<3480837.389420.126571234808.JavaMail.hmail@blubb>  
    Feb  9 14:36:48 sympaserver sympa[756]: main::DoFile() Ignoring message 
which would cause a loop (X-Loop: address@concealed) 
    Feb  9 14:36:48 sympaserver sympa[756]: Moving bad file 
address@concealed to bad/

But I could not inspect Joe’s message, because Sympa had already cleaned
`msg/bad` before I was told about the problem.

file /address@concealed

I am using Sympa 5.3.4 and there exists a `sympa.conf` parameter
`clean_delay_queue` [1] which seems to be set to `7` (days) by default
in Sympa 6.x. That is great, since it seems to be set to `1` by default
in Sympa 5.3.4

    $ grep "clean_delay_queue" /usr/lib/sympa/bin/Conf.pm
                           clean_delay_queue clean_delay_queueauth 
clean_delay_queuemod clean_delay_queuesubscribe clean_delay_queueautomatic 
clean_delay_queuetopic default_remind_task
         'clean_delay_queue'    => 1,
         'clean_delay_queuemod' => 10,
         'clean_delay_queuetopic' => 7,
         'clean_delay_queuesubscribe' => 10,
         'clean_delay_queueautomatic' => 10,
         'clean_delay_queueauth' => 3,

My question is, how can Sympa be configured to notify the listmaster
that there was an ignored message, so that the listmaster can look into
this problem?


Thanks,

Paul
