AvalonListserv / AvalonListservManager problem

I am wondering if I just update the table "lists" with a new email address, do I need to restart James? Tracing through the code, seems to me that it grabs the members in init(), but not in service, so what that means is that if something changes, it cannot detect it without restarting it. If I do it through AvalonListservManager, it just does a sql update to the table, does it tell the mailet to refresh itself?

Another shortcoming is that everytime I add/change a new mailing list, I have to launch my pico to edit config.xml, restart james before it can refresh it. Is there a command in James to reload config.xml? Even better, I think the parameters such as membersonly, attachmentsallowed, replytolist, autobracket, subjectprefix should also be saved in the database, so that a webapp can update it directly.

Chris,

I don't know how this slipped through the cracks, but if you are interested
in helping out on the list server code, please join the james-dev mailing
list.  We'd be happy to have you help on the code.  :-)

Actually I modified the mailet to handle dynamic list handling. I would be
more than happy if my works can be integrated into James. I am new to open
source development, should I send you the code?

In config.xml

<mailet match="IsMailingList=mailinglists" class="MyListServ">
    <repositoryName>mailinglists</repositoryName>
    <membersonly>false</membersonly>
    <attachmentsallowed>true</attachmentsallowed>
    <replytolist>true</replytolist>
    <autobracket>true</autobracket>
    <subjectprefix>SUBJECT-PREFIX</subjectprefix>
</mailet>

where mailinglists is the repository

<repository name="mailinglists"
class="org.apache.james.mailinglistrepository.MailingListsJdbcRepository"
destinationURL="db://maildb/mailinglists">
    <sqlFile>file://conf/sqlResources.xml</sqlFile>
</repository>

You've read the code wrong.  All that AvalonListserv does is provide an
implementation of getMembers().  GenericListserv calls getMembers() on the
second line of the service method.

All of those items, and more, are on the To-do list.  The current list
management code is extremely primitive.
