The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Michael Howe <address@concealed>]

Hi Harald,

Debian's packaging of sympa makes it consistent with other
Debian-packaged software, so the config files live directly in
/etc/sympa - for example, on my test system, I have 3 robots
(dev1.maillist.ox.ac.uk, dev2.maillist.ox.ac.uk, dev3.maillist.ox.ac.uk)
which have their own configs (robot.conf at a minimum, but two also have
a custom welcome message).  /etc/sympa is also where you put overrides
to mail_tt2 and web_tt2 files.
