The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Tom Fillmore <address@concealed>]

Hi -

Upgraded to/from the same versions as you, had a similar problem...

SYMPA is a great platform but these sorts of things make me crazy.  My 
initial install in the 5 series was from source and every time I have 
upgraded (two times in the 5 series, two times in the 6 series) I've followed 
directions to the letter.  Since I'm not a perl guy my installs are as 
generic as possible (Debian x64, mechanical drives, system default versions 
of packages, etc) and I accept all locational defaults, etc.  Still always 
have problems though.

In the end it's always worth the time to fix things and I've come to accept 
these sorts of problems as part of SYMPA's 'personality'.  I don't consider 
them a mark against functionality, just some peculiarities.

To all the volunteers who work on this great piece of software - huzzah!  :)
