The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Christian HUTTER <address@concealed>]

Hi Marcin,

 

Ok the creation problem was solved after a reboot. Strange enough. But I still face the problem of sympa not sending out mails from lists which require moderation (without moderation it works).

 

I’m using postfix as mta and did follow the FAQ

 

https://www.sympa.org/faq/postfix_howto

 

In general this seems to be ok – I do receive and send mails. I did another test on a test list (now that I could create it). After I ask sympa to distribute the message the do_distribute action for the mail is called. But then nothing happens. The mail remains in /home/sympa/spool/moderation.

 

Is there a way to fore it out there manually?

 

 

Best regards

 

Christian Hutter

Hi Chris,

What mail server are use on the back-end? Im using sendmail, and moderated lists were not forwarded to list members when I had missing sympa entries in the sendmail /etc/aliases . What is the exact error when you try to create a new list?

Hello,

 

I’m currently facing multiple problems with Sympa. It all started with people reporting that mails send to moderated lists are not forwarded to the list members. I did check, they were still visible in /home/sympa/spool/moderation and are not released. As I did realize that my version of sympa was outdated (6.1.4)  I did upgrade to version 6.1.17. Now the situation is even worse – messages are still not released I get an error message whenever I want to add a new list (complaining about a missing listname?).

 

As this is a production system all this is very annoying. Any ideas what I can do?

 

Thank you very much
