13.2 List configuration file
</H1>

<P>
The configuration file for the <TT>mylist</TT> list is named
<A NAME="6883"></A><TT>/home/sympa/expl/my.domain.org/mylist/config</TT> 
(or <A NAME="6886"></A><TT>/home/sympa/expl/mylist/config</TT> if no virtual robot is defined). 
<I>Sympa</I> reads it into memory the first time the list is refered to. This file is not rewritten by 
<I>Sympa</I>, so you may put comment lines in it. 
It is possible to change this file when the program is running. 
Changes are taken into account the next time the list is
accessed. Be careful to provide read access for <I>Sympa</I> user to this file !

<P>
You will find a few configuration files in the <A NAME="6892"></A><TT>sample</TT> directory. 

<P>
List configuration parameters are described in the list creation section, <A HREF="node16.html#list-configuration-param">15</A>, page&nbsp;<A HREF="node16.html#list-configuration-param"><IMG  ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="1" ALT="[*]" SRC="crossref.png"></A>.

13.7 List template files

<P>
These files are used by Sympa as service messages for commands such as
<A NAME="6949"></A><TT>SUB</TT>, <A NAME="6952"></A><TT>ADD</TT>, <A NAME="6955"></A><TT>SIG</TT>, <A NAME="6958"></A><TT>DEL</TT>, <A NAME="6961"></A><TT>REJECT</TT>. 
These files are interpreted (parsed) by <I>Sympa</I> and respect the template 
format ; every file has the .tpl extension. See <A HREF="node13.html#tpl-format">12.1</A>, 
page&nbsp;<A HREF="node13.html#tpl-format"><IMG  ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="1" ALT="[*]" SRC="crossref.png"></A>. 

<P>
Sympa looks for these files in the following order :

<OL>
<LI><A NAME="6977"></A><TT>/home/sympa/expl/mylist/<TT>&lt;</TT>file<TT>&gt;</TT>.tpl</TT> 
</LI>
<LI><A NAME="6998"></A><TT>/home/sympa/etc/templates/<TT>&lt;</TT>file<TT>&gt;</TT>.tpl</TT>. 
</LI>
<LI><A NAME="7019"></A><TT>/home/sympa/bin/etc/templates/<TT>&lt;</TT>file<TT>&gt;</TT>.tpl</TT>.
</LI>
</OL>

<P>
If the file starts with a From: line, it is taken to be
a full message and will be sent (after parsing) without the addition of SMTP
headers. Otherwise the file is treated as a text/plain message body.

<P>
The following variables may be used in list template files :

<A NAME="7060"></A><TT>/home/sympa/expl/mylist/message.footer</TT> files. Their content
is added, respectively at the beginning and at the end of each message 
before the distribution process. You may also include the content-type
of the appended part (when <A NAME="7063"></A><TT>footer_type</TT> list parameter s set 
to <B>mime</B>) by renaming the files to <A NAME="7066"></A><TT>message.header.mime</TT>

<P>
The <A NAME="7072"></A><TT>footer_type</TT> list parameter defines whether to attach the 
header/footer content as a MIME part (except for multipart/alternative 
messages), or to append them to the message body (for text/plain messages).

Under certain circumstances, Sympa will NOT add headers/footers, here is its
algorythm :<PRE>
if message is not multipart/signed 
        if footer_type==append
	        if message is text/plain
		       append header/footer to it
		else if message is multipart AND first part is text/plain
		       append header/footer to first part

        if footer_type==mime
	        if message is not multipart/alternative
		       add header/footer as a new MIME part
