reset, I decided to go through the process. When you get the email
from sympa it is pretty wacky english:
Subject: lists.riseup.net / your environment
Someone, probably you, requested to allocate or renew your password for
your list server account lists.riseup.net. (This request came from host
). You may ignore this request or click on the following link in order
to choose your password. :

Here is an attempt at rewording this, feel free to change any of it:
Subject: Your lists.riseup.net account
Someone has requested that your lists.riseup.net account password be
reset. If this was not you, do not worry, you can safely ignore this
message and nothing will happen. If it was you, just simply click on the
following link to reset your password:

It would be great to not have 2 words for one role. Also the owner/administrator distinction is unclear to me, but maybe administrators include moderators/editors (another 2 words for one role?)

Subject: lists.riseup.net / your environment
From: Sympa
Someone, probably you, requested to allocate or renew your password for
your list server account lists.riseup.net. (This request came from host
). You may ignore this request or click on the following link in order
to choose your password. : https://lists.riseup.net/www/ticket/aadsadjgddfg
There are a few odd things about this:
1. The subject is bizarre, especially the '/ your environment' part -- I
think this should say something like "Your lists.riseup.net account"
2. The From is unrecognizable to people.... who is Sympa?! I think that
the real name portion of the return email should be changed from "Sympa
<sympa@lists.riseup.net>" to be: "Riseup Lists <sympa@lists.riseup.net",
or something equally as clear
3. The english is awkward: "requested to allocate", also "for your list
server account lists.riseup.net" is weird too. How about this as a draft
replacement first sentence, "Someone requested a new password for your
Riseup mailing list account at http://lists.riseup.net"
4. "(This request came from host)" is both meaningless because we dont
keep the logs to make it useful, but also something I think we should
not include. Maybe it would be better replaced by, "If you did not make
this request, don't worry, just ignore this email. If you did make the
request and want to reset or create a new password, please visit: ..."

If you go back to the the list's admin page, it will be still open.
In the past, when a list had a large number of subscribers, this is what would happen... it would spin, we'd get the birds, but it would still close.
I suspect that the spinning is happening while sympa dumps the subscribers to a file, and that this takes too long for the http timeout. This probably should be done as a task or something so its not synchronous with the web admin connection.

Sendmail is choking on that sender, I think probably sympa either needs to escape it somehow or shouldn't be trying to send.

This is causing at least one list owner who had previously been a reoccurring donor to leave riseup.

However, messages sent to xx-admin@lists.riseup.net didn't work, presumably because sympa tried to send the mail to the admin of the list xx, which, in this case, didn't exist. IF the list did exist, then the message would presumably go to the admin of that list, rather than the intended list.
Probably we should ban list names that end in -admin or -editor. There might be other internal sympa keywords that we should ban as listnames, but not sure what.

"ERROR () - Syntax errors with the following parameters: listname ERROR (create_list) - Missing argument listname"
Rather than a complaint that the listname can't contain those characters. You can repeat this by trying to create a list with spaces for example. Users often think this field is the list human readable name, rather than the local part of the list address. The help document explains it, but sympa should be checking and giving a better error message, and maybe the form text could be improved.

There were 6353 lists in the database that didn't have a corresponding expl/ dir. I looked into a few of them and all of them had entries in the admin and list tables, but nothing else. I suspect there is a bug in renames or closes or something that causes these to get left around.
I will clean them out and we can check again later to see if they are still happening.
