Hi David,

Thanks. Case insensitive was my problem. I changed it like you said and its 
now working with my generated passwords.

Kind regards

    It is either a MD5 or bcrypt hash.

    By default, it is MD5.

    By default, Sympa passwords are cas insensitive. Consequently, the 
    password is lower-cased before computing the hash. That may be the 
    source of your problem.

    Either you lower-case your passwords before hashing them or, which is 
    probably better, security speaking, you make the passwords case 
    sensitive by setting the "password_case" sympa.conf parameter to the 
    value "sensitive".

    Nope. Only the user_table.

    No, because you don't add user at list creation. Lists are always 
    created empty. Even the list creator must subscribe manually.

    You COULD tweak the list template using TT2 lanaguage to make additional 
    operations, such as list subscription, by including perl code, from 
    within the template. Such code should be included in a [% PERL %] ... 
    perl code ... [% END %] tag.

    But for that, you'll need to change the Sympa code in one point : at the 
    template object creation in Sympa::Request::Handler::create_list.pm, you 
    need to add the option : EVAL_PERL => 1.

    Regards,

    David
