This document describe how to make/update lists automatically from an LDAP directory. This is use for making/updating students lists in a university environnement, but can easily be adpated to others. Two files are availables :

• Odf document (in French, ask for english version) describing the way to proceed : :contribs:students_lists_instanciation.odt

• Shell script use to forge the XML file of Sympa instanciation : :contribs:create_xml.sh.txt

LemonLDAP is a Single Sign-On system.

The authentication module for Sympa :

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/pluglemonsympa/

By using this small shell script you can (re)set to zero the trafic statistics (i.e : the number of emails send to the list) of all the lists of a sympa server. To do that, you must :

1. Be 'root' or 'sympa' user
2. Run the script in the home directory of sympa (near the expl directory)

This plugin for Munin, collects statistics about the spools of Sympa :

• Sample output

(Jose-Marcio Martins da Cruz)

This milter checks each (enveloppe) recipient to see if it's one of the lists managed by Sympa, and if it finds any, it adds a header X-Sympa-RCPT to the message. This header allows Sympa to retrieve full original recipient information including “plussed” addresses, before any rewriting done by sendmail.

The script extracts data from sympa, and either prints a list of email addresses to STDOUT, outputs a comma-delimited file with the fields you want, or maps the data to a database of your choice (postgres or mysql), and INSERTS lines. (no update yet)

(Sébastien Santoro)

This script, based on the SOAP extension of PHP 5, allows using the Sympa SOAP interface.

• the class itself

• a use case of the class

(Chris Hastie)

I put together to enable an existing PHP application to set Sympa's session cookie. Obviously all the authentication logic is handled by the PHP app. Once that is satisfied that the user should be authenticated to sympa it can use this class to make the appropriate updates to sympa's session_table, then set a cookie:

include ('SympaSession.php');
$ss = new SympaSession($email);
$sympa_session_id = $ss->getid();
setcookie("sympa_session", $sympa_session_id, 0, '/',
$sympa_session_domain, FALSE);

It suits my purposes, but is not hugely flexible. See it as an example to be modified, not a fully tested and guaranteed working class.
