Well I finally got Sympa to work :)

It was a permission problem, I had to "chmod 775 /home/sympa/" in order to
make it work (actually, the difference is for "other"), since if not it
didn't work, getting this error in maillog:

Command died with status 1: " /home/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"

I suppose it's because Postfix could not access the script when piping via
alias, isn't it?
Is this setting ok, or is there any more secure set of permissions?

It would be a good idea to mention this in the docs :)

I also have a couple of questions regarding to the database.
I'm programming some software on PHP, that will among other things access
the Sympa database. Subscriptions, configs, etc. will be made through this
PHP interface, so I won't be using wwsympa.

Because of this I want to eliminate things I won't use from the database.

So here come the questions:

1) The user_table is only used by wwsympa, am I right? So if I won't use
wwsympa, I can delete that table, and nothing won't happen, and I can
implement my own table if I need something similar (or extend the existing
one), is this right?

2) What fields are relevant in subscriber_table for sympa without using
wwsympa? or maybe shorter, are there any fields in subscriber_table that are
meant only for wwsympa? I guess that date_subscriber, update_subscriber and
comment_subscriber are only used by wwsympa.. are there any more that are
only used by wwsympa?

Thanks in advance,

Juan
