The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Peter Polkinghorne (Staff)" <address@concealed>]

I have had this problem as well and I did get a response indicating not expected behaviour.  In our old 6.0.3 this worked, whereas the version we are running now,6.2.68 does not.

Subject: [en@sympa] Re-opening a closed list

 

Hello all,

 

I have a problem with closed lists.

From time to time, we close the unused lists and warn their admins. After some time, if they didn’t ask for re-opening, we delete them. But sometimes, an admin asks us to re-open a closed list. It happened for the first time some weeks ago. That’s when the problem occurred : once the list has been opened again, it had lost all of its subscribers.

I have asked to the French community list, and some people said that a dump of subscribers should be in the list folder. But there is no such file, and I’ve checked several closed lists.

All our lists are family-related. It might have some impact.

The loss of the subscribers is a big problem. If we can re-open the list with all its settings and subscribers preserved, closing it is not relevant.

 

Dose someone know if this is normal ? Did we miss some settings somewhere ?

 

Thanks,

Mathieu Roquefort
