💖 SYMPA::SPINDLE::TOLISTMASTER 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the <pink>Sympa::Spindle::ToListmaster</pink> page, from the Sympa 6.2.80 manual, section 3Sympa ✨ it's a Perl module, it's a spindle, it lives in the Sympa family, and yes we are gonna read the whole thing together, no skimming, we're committed 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

Sympa::Spindle::ToListmaster — the process that stores messages into an in-memory spool so the listmaster can get notified 🫶

like, that's literally the whole job. it takes the messages, it parks them in a spool that lives on memory, and that spool is there for listmaster notification. it's giving postal worker but the mailroom is RAM 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

TBD.

yeah. that's it. that's the description. TBD 😭 three letters, one period, absolutely iconic of the maintainers, we love a mysterious queen 👑

(not me reading a manpage that says "to be determined" — i'm obsessed, i'm not gonna make anything up though, unlike Some People, because if it's TBD in the source it's TBD here fr fr)
