The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

Point 1: This may be moot now, but there was another problem between your
sympa.conf and robot.conf files sent before, and it would still be there
(and causing big problems) if you kept the robot.conf version instead of
the sympa.conf version.  In sympa.conf you had home as "/home/sympa/expl"
and etc as "/home/sympa/etc", which is good.  But in robot.conf you had
home as "/var/lib/sympa/expl" and etc as "/etc/sympa", which is all wrong,
and would cause sympa to be looking in entirely the wrong places for your
lists and configuration files.  Maybe a relic of Woody's installation.
Could this be it?  If not, read on:

Point 2:

How's your Apache setup look?  You say you're getting the right headers
in email messages now, which I think means virtual robots are fine (though
them not even being listed in Sympa Admin is problematic, so see point 1).
Do you have a virtual host for the virtual robot, like:

VirtualHost *>
User sympa
Group sympa
DocumentRoot /home/www/htdocs
ServerName list.ega.org

        ScriptAlias /lists /home/sympa/bin/wwsympa.fcgi
        <Location /lists>
           SetHandler fastcgi-script
        </Location>

</VirtualHost>

(or with a list.ega.org substituted for the *)?
