The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Colas Nahaboo <address@concealed>]

When I had to do it, I opted for a simple approach:

I did:

• a global command line search / replace (sed...) in the config files,
• I dumped the mysql database in text form (mysqldump --opt --skip-extended-insert  --skip-dump-date)
• I replaced the emails in the dump with the same commands as for the config files
• I reloaded the modified dump

Note that will not change the emails in the archives.

Using search/replace in text files makes checking and debugging easier in my opinion.

Colas.

Hi

I'm looking for a way to do a mass search/replace of mail addresses in Sympa.
We have a large number of mail addresses that need changing, most of
them subscribers to lists, but also a number of owners.

thx!
