The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

As the subject says, in the 6.1.x branch, when adding a new Admin (owner or editor) for a list via the web interface, the ‘reception’ option is not honoured.  In other words, if you set up a new Editor with a reception of ‘nomail’, they will still be notified that they have been delegated Editor privs for this list.  This is not ideal in some cases, where the new editor will be annoyed by the notification email.  I also note that no notification is sent when people *lose* admin rights, though that is an issue for another time.

 

To fix this, you can simply edit wwsympa.fcgi somewhere around line 9650, and put a test on ‘reception’ around the send_notify_to_user function call:

 

# SJS Change : only if reception!=nomail

              if( $entry->{'reception'} ne 'nomail' ) {

                ## Notify the new list owner/editor

                $list->send_notify_to_user('added_as_listadmin', $entry->{'email'},{'admin_type' => $admin_type, 'delegator' => $param->{'user'}{'email'}});

              }

# SJS end

 

I’ll log this in the bug tracker later…
