Hi again,

The documentation says about the "queuebounce" parameter in sympa.conf:
        Default value: ~var/sympa/spool/bounce

I had this directory before and did not work.

After peeking at queuebounce.c I found if the parameter is not defined in 
sympa.conf
queuebounc simply exits without doing anything. That's the reason of my 
problem before.

I added explicitely the queuebounce param at the config file and now it works 
fine.
You might want to fix that at the distribution source code. Let me know if 
you want me to send you a diff with the fix.

Regards,

Josep Román

Subject: Problems with queuebounce?


Hi there,

I've just installed sympa 2.5 and I'd like to test the bouncing mechanism.

So, I modified one entry in my /etc/aliases table as following:
        mylist-owner: "|/var/sympa/bin/bouncequeue mylist"

I added a fake user to my list and whenever I send a mail to mylist, 
bouncequeue gets exec'd but the mail remains always in queue with the 
Deferred flag set.

What can produce this strange behaviour. (I'm running sympa on Solaris 7)
Any ideas/suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Regards,

josep Román
