Hi,

  Do you have any answer about this, please?

  Thanks.

Package: sympa
Version: 3.3.3-2
Severity: normal


When creating a new list through the web interface to Sympa it gives the
set of email aliases that you should create in order for it to work.

These are reported as:

#----------------- address@concealed
address@concealed: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"
address@concealed: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue
address@concealed"
address@concealed: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue foo"
address@concealed: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue
address@concealed"
# address@concealed: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue
address@concealed"


Postfix, the MTA I use, then complains about the alias address being
non-local.

It can be made to work successfully by turning it into this form, like
the aliases created in previous versions:

#----------------- address@concealed
foo: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue foo"
foo-request: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue foo-request"
foo-owner: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue foo"
foo-unsubscribe: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue foo-unsubscribe"
# foo-subscribe: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue foo-subscribe"


I don't know if this is the right way to do this, however, or if
stripping the host details off the argument to the Sympa commands will
break "virtual robot" setups or anything like that.

It would be nice to have appropriate documentation on the correct format
for these so that, at least, I could know what should be done to correct
this issue...
