The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Mark Cairney <address@concealed>]

Hi,

I can confirm the "gost" sub-lists in question are NOT listed in the 
list_data/<listname>/config file though it it populated with other 
sub-lists e.g.

include_sympa_list
listname hpc-students
name include_list hpc-students


Kind regards,
Mark
