Hello,

Thanks for the earlier assistance, Sympa is now up and running. There are
still some issues, however...

The problem I'm having right now is that Sympa can't send e-mail. I first
ran into this when requesting a password from the front end, but the symptoms
are the same when it tries to send e-mail for any reason, to any address.
The machine itself can send and receive e-mail just fine if Sympa is bypassed.

Here's what I'm seeing in the logs. Actual FQHN is replaced with <hostname>.
Permissions on the directories are wide open, so I'm at a loss as to what's
causing the permission denial.

I've browsed the documentation on sympa.org, but didn't see a solution to
this particular problem.

Thanks.
