The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Harald Husemann <address@concealed>]

Hi Nicolas,

and many thanks for your answer! I figured it out already, putting a 
robot.conf in /etc/sympa/<domain> solved the problem. I had tried this 
already, but I forgot to kill the FCGI-process, so the new config was 
not loaded (just restarted Sympa itself, but it turned out that that is 
not enough because the FCGI is still running afterwards).
But it's good to know that this is the "official" way, and not only a 
workaround.
The other directory in /var/lib/sympa... is already there, I followed 
the official guide from Sympa which mentioned this also. The only 
problem was the robot.conf, since I don't have a /home/sympa anymore, :-).

Thanks and have a nice hackin',

Harald
