✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to Sympa::Spindle::ToList from the sympa manual (section 3, the library-girlies section 💅). Basically? It's the Process to distribute messages to list members. Like, the whole point is getting the message out to everybody on the list. slay.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This class runs the last stage of message transformation before the message gets sent out through the list. Think of it as the glow-up finale — everything gets cute and ready, and then it ships. ✨

The transformation processes this class does happen in exactly this order, no skipping, no rearranging:

  1. It classifies recipients — like, for whom is this message delivered by each reception mode — filters recipients by topics (peep Sympa::Spool::Topic for that, iykyk), and picks message tracking modes if necessary.
  2. It transforms the message by each reception mode.
  3. It enables DMARC protection (according to the dmarc_protection list configuration parameter), message personalization (according to the personalization_feature list configuration parameter) and/or re-encryption by S/MIME (if the original message was encrypted). muy importante 💖
  4. It alters the envelope sender of the message to the list"-owner" address. main character energy, honestly.

Then — and this is the iconic part — it stores the message into the outgoing spool (check Sympa::Spool::Outgoing), along with classified packets of recipients.

Also: this class updates the statistics information of the list (and with digest delivery, Sympa::Spindle::ToOutgoing will be the one to update it). 🫶
