The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

This will happen if the list has MailMerge enabled, and the message in question has invalid TT2 code.  Any error results in the distribution of a blank message.  If this is the case, the Sympa logs will hold the error messages.

You can test a mailmerge message before distributing by adding a special (misspelt!) header to the message before sending (I cant remember off hand what the header is, and it is undocumented); I have a patch for Sympa that gives a bit easier control of this via Scenari but I don't have it to hand currently.

Subject: [sympa-users] blank email sent to list members

Has anyone experienced this situation where a message is sent to a list, it’s archived properly but users receive a blank message.  Are there any known causes or solutions?

 

Any insight would be appreciated,
