The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Marco Gaiarin <address@concealed>]

I'm using the (old) version of debian woody, so this colud be well
known problem/bugs closed in newer release...

The fist. I've setup my listserver that use exim as the FAQ explain,
i've added a transport like this:

sympa_special_pipe:
  driver = pipe
  command = "/usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue $local_part$local_part_suffix"
  return_path_add
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  user = nobody
  group = nogroup

and a director like this:

sympa_special:
  driver = smartuser
  domains = liste.ac.concordia-pordenone.it
  transport = sympa_special_pipe
  suffix = -request : -editor : -owner : -subscribe : -unsubscribe
  require_files = /var/lib/sympa/expl/$local_part
                                                                              
  

to handle bounces and other administrativa requests.

If a mail bounce, message are correctly redirected:

2003-10-08 10:52:43 1A7A3n-0004eg-00 <= <> H=(mail.davide.it) 
[212.31.252.231] P=esmtp S=6054 address@concealed
2003-10-08 10:52:48 1A7A3n-0004eg-00 => ac-admins 
<ac-admins-owner(at)liste.ac.concordia-pordenone.it> D=sympa_special 
T=sympa_special_pipe
2003-10-08 10:52:48 1A7A3n-0004eg-00 Completed


But in wwsympa there's no trace of this bounced messages (in this case
for a full mailbox, over quota), nor the addesses have some ``mark''
that state this as failing.

I can see the bounce on:

        /var/spool/sympa/queue/bad/ac-admins-owner.1065603171.17906

and i've not understood if this is normal (sympa have a complex
algorithm for defining an address as failing) or instead something in
the bounce processing went bad.



The second. If i try to edit some subscribers, adding GECOS or changing
mail reception mode, i get every time a:

        L'indirizzo "" è sbagliato 
        (the address "" is wrong)

error message. ?!


Many thanks.
