What Is Sympa?
Sympa is a mailing list management software that provides advanced features and a secure web interface. A mailing list enables a group of subscribers to automatically receive all messages sent to the list. Every message sent to the list by a subscriber is received by all other subscribers.

How Do I Manage My Sympa Mailing List?

Once you have logged in, click on the blue admin button.
From the tabs at the top of the page select "manage subscribers."
To add a user, enter the user's name in the "add a user" section, click the "add" button and make sure to check the "quiet" box, otherwise, the user will get an email when you edit the list.
