Highlight of this version

New features

This version introduces several enhancements. Among them, following features are contributed by Luc Didry, Framasoft.

  • Global "quiet add" policy (#503)
    Have a quiet_subscription setting in sympa.conf allowing to enforce the "quiet add" policy, either for forcing quiet subscriptions (in enterprise for ex.) or disabling quiet subscriptions (public Sympa server, have to respect GDPR). 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. To protect that feature, Sympa could asks for the user password. By default this feature is disabled: allow_account_deletion setting in 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.
