Hooks¶

Currently, following hooks are supported:

pre_distribute

Message hook. Message had been approved distribution (by scenario or by moderator), however, it has not been decorated (adding custom subject etc.) nor archived yet.

post_archive

Message hook. Message had been archived, however, it has not been distributed to users including digest spool; message has not been signed nor encrypted (if necessary).

How to add a hook to your Sympa¶

First, write your hook module:

  package My::Hook;
  use constant gettext_id => 'My message hook';
  
  sub post_archive {
      my $module  = shift;    # module name: "My::Hook"
      my $name    = shift;    # handler name: "post_archive"
      my $message = shift;    # Message object
      my %options = @_;
  
      # Processing, possiblly changing $message...
  
      # Return suitable result.
      # If unrecoverable error occurred, you may return undef or simply die.
      return 1;
  }
  
  1;

Then activate hook handler in your list config:

  message_hook
    post_archive My::Hook
