The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Rene 'Lynx' Pfeiffer" <address@concealed>]

Hello!

Yesterday I tried to upgrade from SYMPA 2.4 to SYMPA 2.5.2. I followed the 
steps
described on the home page that explain how to do the upgrade. After 
upgrading I
found SYMPA not reacting to commands and not forwarding anything to any list.

I checked the 'queue' program with strace and found that apparently it stops
when doing the file open in

  [...]
  sprintf(qfile, "T.%s.%ld.%d", listname, time(NULL), getpid());
  fd = open(qfile, O_CREAT|O_WRONLY, 0600);
  [...]

I checked the permissions of the spool directory /var/lib/sympa/spool/ and 
found
it unchanged (0755). Nevertheless I didn't get it to work. Today I changed the
permissions to

drwxrwxr-x   7 sympa    mlist        4096 Dec 27 17:07 spool

and put the user 'mail' into the group mlist. Now the 'queue' program runs 
fine
but I get bad message entries with filenames such as 
"BAD-sympa.952049080.5209".

I can't figure out why.

Best regards,
Rene Pfeiffer
