Hi Tom again,

I see garbage mixed in with the configuration example in the manual.

If you set it up like this, it won't work.  The inequality sign is

No, I did not use that. I will file an issue on github. Then I may try using PostgreSQL.

I have not visited this list in several years, but I am willing to consider reasonable paid support to get a non-commercial system up and running. I have searched online several times for paid services for Sympa support but have found none except Ikeda's.

And, following other threads, I think having a list of such on the Sympa site is reasonable. It's certainly done elsewhere.

As an aside, I did have a GNU Mailman (2) service running about 12 years ago but wasn't happy with the lack of list name flexibility. I then found Sympa (which also uses my then-favorite computer language) but I never had time to change over and kept hoping Mailman 3 would be the solution. However, it went awry, in my humble opinion, and got buried in a Python swamp, so I'm back here again in comfortable Perl territory hoping for more success with a little more time availlable.

Best regards,

P.S. I'm surprised that, as much as Sympa seems to be used for schools and universities, some enterprising computer engineering graduate hasn't gone into the Sympa support business.
