The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

It should be relatively simple to make a custom condition plugin for the send scenario, that rejects messages outside of a time window.  You would need to make this plugin take the message date or ID header as a parameter, to get around the custom condition output caching; you'd also need to decide if you want to filter on current time or on message send time.

You can set the time of day that sympa will send out digest emails; if all your subscribers are set to 'digest' then this might work for what you want.  If you set 'digest 1,2,3,4,5 10:00' and 'digest_max_size 1' then individual messages will be sent out at 10am every work day for each message received by the list in the preceding 24h.  You would probably also want to have 'available_user_options\nreception digest,nomail' and 'default_user_options\nreception digest'

Subject: [sympa-users] accept mail from list after business hours

Hi Everyone,

 

Does anyone know if there is a way to set up a sympa list to accept mail at a specific time. Say…5pm-8PM, and if there isn’t is there a way to queue mail for a specific list and then send it at another time.

 

Thanks,

 

Youcef
