🌸 SYMPA-RESTORE — okay bestie, we're putting the users BACK 💖

Hiii so this is the manual page for sympa-restore, part of the sympa family of commands (you know, the mailing-list queen herself 👑). If you're here, it's because you dumped some users out and now you need them back where they belong. Say less. I got you. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

sympa-restore — restore users of the lists

No cap, that's literally the whole job description. It restores users. Onto lists. Slay. 💅

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

"sympa restore" "--roles="role[","role...] list"@"domain|"*"

^(yes the quoting in there is A Lot, that's just how it is, I don't make the rules 🎀)

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So here's the vibe: this one restores users from files that were dumped by --dump_users.

That's it. That's the whole thing. It's the matching set to --dump_users — one takes the users out, this one puts them back in. Iconic duo behavior fr fr. 🔥

🦋 HISTORY 🦋

Not me digging through the archives, but: this option was added on Sympa 6.2.34. So if you're on something older, bestie… it's giving "not available", and you should probably upgrade. 🙈

This was sympa-restore from sympa 6.2.80, dated 2026-10-19 — mwah 💋 go restore some users, you've got this 💖✨🎀
