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

corrupted config cache maybe ?
delete list_data/<listname>/config.bin then rebuild it with sympa reload_list_config

X.


Kind regards,
Mark

As a follow-up it does appear to be specific to this particular
super-list. If I add a data-source then delete it from one of my test
lists it behaves as I'd expect.

We're currently mopping up subscribers from ghost data sources and
manually deleting the entries from the inclusion_table as a workaround
i.e. DELETE FROM inclusion_table WHERE source_inclusion='listname';
although I'm not a fan of manually hacking the database.

Out of curiosity, is the `include_sympa_list` section still shown in the
list's config ?
/var/lib/sympa/list_data/listname/config
Something like :
include_sympa_list
name list
listname address@concealed

Regards,
Xavier
