We are running the Sympa mailing list manager - yay! There are some issues to be fixed or reconfigured though.

 

Plan to Migrate lists 

MX record

Still points to mail.geant.net, which is a single Exim instance in Cambridge and does not do IPv6. Should be changed to the French MX service that David knows about.

Default configuration changes

...

  • Visibility of the lists (visibility): should be set to noconceal
  • Reply address (reply_to_header): should be set to sender

 We should create a custom List Type entry to reflect our common defaults. Now we have created 100+ lists and need to go in and edit them all manually...

DKIM and DMARC breakage

Not sure what causes this, but sending a message from a  yahoo.com account to the list causes it to fail DKIM/DMARC for (at least) Google receipients

...

  • When users try to access a resource that is protected with their browser (for instance the management page of a list), and they are not logged in, they are presented with a massive flashing text ERROR blah.

The list homepage: https://lists.geant.org/sympa/info/gn4-1-na1-t5 

Owner and moderator guide: https://lists.geant.org/sympa/help/admin


 The word ‘Responsibility’ in first line is mis-typed

Misc

 

  • Requests for new lists don't trigger an e-mail to list master.... This is quite urgent as there were a couple of requests sitting in the queue.
  • Searching for lists on https://lists.geant.org/sympa/search_list_request gives "Error: file error - recursion into 'search_list.tt2'"
  • We want to be able to put personal unsubscription links at the bottom of messages, this should be done by setting merge_feature to On on https://lists.geant.org/sympa/edit_config but there is no way to edit any config on that page (permissions?).
