The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

I would guess this happens when

a) The list in question has a 'notify' option set in its subscribe scenario, AND
b) The list has no owners with the 'mail' attribute set

This would mean that Sympa tries to notify the list owner (as per the scenario), but cannot (because there are no mailable list owners) and so notifies listmaster instead.

Subject: [sympa-users] Sympa listmaster subscribe notifications

I’m noticing we have a couple of lists that send “FYI: subscribe list “ messages to the Listmaster email when individuals subscribe that list.  I’ve compared configs with other lists but can’t find a setting that either turns on/off this behavior.  Has anyone else notice this subscription behavior?   An example of the subject and body of the email is:

-----------

Subject: FYI: command subscribe list  LISTNAME from address@concealed

Body:  FYI command subscribe list  LISTNAME from address@concealed

------------

It appears to be an intermittent behavior and I can’t seem to pinpoint the cause.  Any insight would be appreciated.
