The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Ashley Jones <address@concealed>]

Flemming,

Awesome!  I published a post on installing Sympa 6.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 a
bit ago:

    https://blog.plip.com/2017/04/03/howto-sympa-6-1-on-ubuntu-16-04/

Which reminds me, I need to publish the post on installing Sympa 6.2 on
Ubuntu 17.04 which I have more or less ready to go.

For your install instructions, you didn't have to make any changes to
main.cf to tweak postfix settings?

cheers,
-adj
