HISTORY

       Sympa::ListDef was separated from List module on Sympa 6.2.  On Sympa 6.2.57b, its content
       was moved to Sympa::Config::Schema.

       confdef was separated from Conf on Sympa 6.0a, and renamed to Sympa::ConfDef on 6.2a.39.
       On Sympa 6.2.57b, its content was moved to Sympa::Config::Schema.

       Descriptions of parameters in this source file were partially taken from chapters
       "sympa.conf parameters" in Sympa, Mailing List Management Software - Reference manual,
       written by Serge Aumont, Stefan Hornburg, Soji Ikeda, Olivier Salauen and David Verdin.
