08 Jul 15 ALA Sympa List Management Problem

We have identified a problem with our Sympa email list management system caused by inadvertent passage of actual spam.  At this time, only some of our lists are affected.  Our vendor for spam protection is bouncing all outbound email messages from these affected lists.  Bounced messages do not unsubscribe users. Messages are not being queued for later delivery, but they are going to the list’s archive.  The archived messages can be found by visiting http://lists.ala.org/sympa/lists (the “List of lists:), finding the list, and clicking on archives.

We have determined we must upgrade our Sympa email list management software to the latest release to fix this problem and gain better control for spam detection.  We are developing a plan to upgrade Sympa and hope to perform the upgrade sometime next week.  Unfortunately this means that messages sent to the affected mailing lists will not be sent out to subscribers until the upgrade is completed.
