The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Hi,

Sympa doe not keep track of previous users. however, if the connexion to 
the database fails, it won't change anything to the subscribers list.
Try forcing the synchronization through the web interface by clicking 
the "Synchronize members with data sources" button and see if an error 
is issued.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

David
