✨ NAME ✨

sympa-del — delete users from the list 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to sympa-del(1), the page that lives in the sympa 6.2.80 universe and does exactly one iconic thing: yeeting email addresses off your list. sit down, hydrate, let's go 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

"sympa del" [ "--force" ] [ "--notify" ] [ "--quiet" ] [ "role="role ]
list"@"domain

that's the whole vibe right there — the sympa del command, four optional flags chillin' in brackets (--force, --notify, --quiet, and a role= situation), and then your list@domain at the end like the main character it is 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what are we actually doing here? we're deleting email(s) from the list. that's it. that's the job ✨

where does the data come from? not from you typing it at the prompt, bestie — it's read from standard input. and the data should contain one email address per line. one line, one address, no chaos, no drama 🎀

here's the sample, verbatim, look at it:

# emails to be deleted
john.steward@some.company.com
mary.blacksmith@another.company.com

see how clean that is? comment line up top, then one address per line. that's the format. slay 💚

👑 HISTORY 👑

this option was added on Sympa 6.2.67b.2. so yeah, it's not ancient lore, it's a relatively recent glow-up — iykyk 🦋

and that's the whole page, fr fr. this was sympa-del(1) from sympa version 6.2.80, dated 2026-10-19 — go forth and delete responsibly, no cap 💖🌸
