The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Mark Cairney <address@concealed>]

Ironically I didn't get this response- I'd forgotten about this issue until I encountered the same issue again and Google it and found my previous question in the archive. Interestingly/ironically it was in relation to the same super-list!

I should probably have added that this is using Sympa 6.2.80 on Rocky 8 (we plan on upgrading to Rocky 9 in the near future).

Doing a manual sync I can see that only the currently named data sources get refreshed but it doesn't remove the deleted data source members..

Kind regards,

Mark

that's not what I see in our installation. The addresses from the deleted source are removed on the next run of the synchronisation (and immediately when using the synchronise-button).
