The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["True, James Scott" <address@concealed>]

Greetings,

 

We are using the include file option. We have a list where the owners upload a  text file that has subscribers , one per line, to shared documents. We have the “include file” feature in data source setup configured to the path of the shared documents, /var/lib/sympa/list_data/<domain>/<list-name>/shared/filename.txt. We have used this to uploaded a very large number of subscribers from the text file. When testing on a small scale we see that if initially we load 5 subscribers and then change the shared text file to 1 subscriber and then synchronize subscribers with data sources, there are still 5 subscribers. If a subscriber is removed from the text file, they are not removed from the list when synchronized. 

 

Are we misunderstand how the include file works? If a subscriber is no longer in the file, should that subscribers be removed from the list after synching?

 

Thanks,
