RPM
People running either Fedora or RHEL (and clones) can find ready to use RPMs for sympa in a COPR sympa repository. People willing to also get sympa beta releases should additionally use this COPR sympa-beta repository.
- Note that unofficial repository on Sympa-JA.org is still available. Administrators who have used it and are not planning to install beta do not need to change their repository settings.
Support for RHEL8/CentOS8 is yet to be decided.
Planned changes in the future
Dropping support for Perl 5.8.x
Currently, Sympa officially supports Perl 5.8.1 and better. However, older versions of Perl have number of flaws while distributors will no longer close them. That's why we decided to drop support for older versions gradually.
Since Sympa 6.2.46, the next stable release, Perl 5.10.1 and later will be supported. Nevertheless, administrators are recommended to use as recent version of Perl as they can.

Default behavior will be no enforcing, so quiet add is list's owner's choice. - "Delete my account" button (#300) A "delete my account" button wll unsubscribe you from all lists and remove your account immediately.

sympa.conf
may activate it. - "Domain blacklist" feature (#295) domains_blacklist setting in
sympa.conf
will prevent addresses with particular domain(s) from subscribing to list. This feature may be useful for some purposes, for example not to register addresses with domains no longer providing mail service.
