It can cope with big lists (200,000 subscribers) and comes with a complete (user and admin) Web interface. It is internationalized, and supports the us, fr, de, es, it, fi, and chinese locales. A scripting language allows you to extend the behavior of commands. \fBSympa\fR can be linked to an \s-1LDAP\s0 directory or an \s-1RDBMS\s0 to create dynamic mailing lists. \fBSympa\fR provides S/MIME and \s-1HTTPS\s0 based authentication and encryption. Sympa is a modern mailing-list manager. It supports a lot of useful features. .SH "OPTIONS" .IX Header "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB\-d, \-\-debug\fR" 5 .IX Item "-d, --debug" Enable debug mode. .IP "\fB\-f, \-\-file=\fR\fIanother.sympa.conf\fR" 5 .IX Item "-f, --file=another.sympa.conf" Force Sympa to use an alternative configuration file instead of \fI/etc/sympa/sympa.conf\fR. .IP "\fB\-k, \-\-keepcopy=\fR\fIdirectory\fR" 5 .IX Item "-k, --keepcopy=directory" This option tells Sympa to keep a copy of every incoming message, instead of deleting them. `directory' is the directory to store messages. .IP "\fB\-l, \-\-lang=\fR\fIcatalog\fR" 5 .IX Item "-l, --lang=catalog" Set this option to use a language catalog for Sympa. The corresponding catalog file `catalogue'.cat must be located in \fI/usr/lib/sympa/nls\fR directory. .IP "\fB\-m, \-\-mail\fR" 5 .IX Item "-m, --mail" Sympa will log calls to sendmail, including recipients. This option is useful for keeping track of each mail sent (log files may grow faster though). .IP "\fB\-h, \-\-help\fR" 5 .IX Item "-h, --help" Print this help message. .IP "\fB\-v, \-\-version\fR" 5 .IX Item "-v, --version" Print the version number. .Sp With the following options \fIsympa.pl\fR will run in batch mode : .IP "\fB\-\-import=\fR\fIlist\fR" 5 .IX Item "--import=list" Import subscribers in the list. Data are read from \s-1STDIN\s0. The imported data should contain one entry per line : the first field is an email address, the second (optional) field is the free form name.
