Past this deadline, the initiator of the EXPIRE command receives the list of persons who have not confirmed their subscription. It is up to the initiator to send Sympa the corresponding DELETE commands.
Any operation updating the subscription date of an address serves as confirmation of subscription. This is also the case for SET option selecting commands and for the SUBSCRIBE subscription command itself. The fact of sending a message to the list also updates the subscription date.
The explanatory message should contain at least 20 words; it is possible to delimit it by the word QUIT, in particular in order not to include a signature, which would systematically end the command message.
A single expiration process can be activated at any given time for a given list. The EXPIRE command systematically gives rise to authentication by return mail. The EXPIRE command has no effect on the subscriber list.
Makes it possible, at any time, for an expiration process activated using an EXPIRE command to receive the list of addresses for which no enabling has been received.
Deletion of a process activated using the EXPIRE command. The EXPIREDEL command has no effect on subscribers, but it possible to activate a new expiration process with new deadlines.
As above, these commands can be prefixed with QUIET to indicate processing without acknowledgment of receipt.
If a list is moderated, Sympa only distributes messages enabled by one of
its moderators (editors). Moderators have several
methods for enabling message distribution, depending on the send list parameter (13.3.8, page ![[*]](crossref.png)
).
If the send parameter of a list is set to editorkey or editorkeyonly, each message queued
for moderation is stored in a spool (see 4.5.3, page ), and linked
to a key.
The moderator must use this command to enable message distribution.
The message with the key key is deleted from the moderation spool of the listname list.
This command returns the list of messages queued for moderation for the listname list.
The result is presented in the form of an index, which supplies, for each message, its sending date, its sender, its size, and its associated key, as well as all messages in the form of a digest.
