You need to tell Sympa to manage its aliases in its own directory
instead of in the system directories.  Edit ~sympa/bin/postfix_manager.pl
so that the file location lines near the top read:

my $alias_file = '/home/sympa/aliases';
my $virtual_file = '/home/sympa/virtual';

(or similar)

This should be made a part of config_wizard.pl, if not the default.

You may also need to edit the source code for virtualwrapper and
aliaswrapper so that they execute "postalias" and "postmap" on these
files and rebuild, but actually I think that was only before we had
postfix_manager.pl that I had to mess with them.  So the above edits
should be it.

On the other hand, I also find I have to create an extra virtual
address for every virtual domain, pointing sympa@domain to sympa-<domain>,
and an alias pointing sympa-<domain> to "|~sympa/bin/queue sympa@<domain>",
which I find documented nowhere.  Am I doing something unnecessary there, I
wonder?
