really ... interesting, that file never gets written to in my case, thus
my previous question about how to make aliases get written automatically

hmm, ok, you define the database in postfix to be hash
try explicitly defining hash db structure for the postalias command like
this:

postalias hash:/etc/mail/sympa_aliases

do a 'strings /etc/mail/sympa_aliases.db' to check whether your aliases
actually do get included into the hash table

if it still does not work (your postfix directives look decent) then try
increasing the loglevels

debug_peer_list = 127.0.0.1
debug_peer_level = 2

in postfix main.cf

and log_level 2

in sympa.conf

and do some more analysis of activity
