There are two key settings for data source sync on the Edit List Config > Data Source Setup page.   

'Inclusions timeout' - we have our set to  86400 sec  (24hr or auto sync once per day)
AND
'Inclusions timeout for message distribution' - ours is set to 300 sec (5 min)   IMHO this second sync is the most important one since Sympa will check to make sure a subscriber sync occurs within the last  5 minutes before it sends an email to the subscribers.   This insures the subscriber list will be less than 5 min stale.

Hope this helps,

Subject: [sympa-users] Including members from external source (is there a cron job running?)

Dear All,

[Sympa 6.2.58 multi-domain on CentOS 7.9]

one users is including/excluding members of a list from external source (in particular it's a text file served from https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://some_server/a_file.txt__;!!DZ3fjg!ukOKRk8mEErIM6FqAIUWK0zjaOazVvqzgKNVlerPBqDlppC_VK5ysFdHl2zmGn5QWw$ ) and it works.

I'm not able to understand if and how many times a day the process runs and which is the process which updates the subscribers list apart from a manual syncronization.

I've tried to check sympa.log grepping "include" and I find only lists including from LDAP source and, even in this case, I do not find a regular timestamp for a cron job running.

Could you explain me how it works?

thank you
cheers
Stefano
