The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Alex Meaden <address@concealed>]

We have disabled the ability for users to change their own email addresses in Sympa - we use SSO authentication which would no longer work if users could change their email addresses in Sympa. I doubt we are alone in having this requirement.

Hi,
I didn't know such feature existed.
However you can still do it by endorsing this user's identity and change her email adress.
But, then again, the user can do it herself...
If I had only one advice to give to listmasters is: make other people do the stuff. Sympa is especially aimed at this.
That will be two copper pieces, thanks.

Thanks for the tip! Seems a little silly to have removed the feature. It was very useful. Thanks again.

We also noticed this feature has been removed from the web interface. It is possible to use the Sympa CLI to do this, but obviously requires that your administrators have SSH access to the server. Example usage:

$ su - sympa
$ sympa.pl --change_user_email --address@concealed --address@concealed

Hi everyone,

There used to be a feature in the sympa list master admin that allowed us to update a user's email address for all list memberships at once. That feature is gone in 6.2.16. Any idea why and can bring it back. It was very useful for us.

Thanks,

Youcef
