The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Albert Wu <address@concealed>]

Hello,

 

I am evaluating the message personalization feature in Sympa (6.2.56) to see if we can use it to send personalized messages to the list subscribers.

 

So far, I’ve been able to send a personalized message containing attributes already defined in Sympa (user.email, user.gecos, etc.). I have also been able to create a custom user attribute using the Sympa user interface (under Edit List Config -> Miscellaneous).

 

Two questions:

 

1. Where might I find a list of all available Sympa attributes I can use in a message template? The Sympa Admin Guide doesn’t seem to have an obvious listing.
2. How do I populate values for the custom attribute I’ve defined? I see an additional column with my custom attribute as the column heading on the subscriber list, but the attribute doesn’t appear in the edit UI. More importantly, how do I populate that when adding users in bulk?

 

Thanks in advance.
