Sympa.pl cannot access messages in its spool because they were created by a process that was not running as 'sympa' uid.
You probably removed the 'SetUID' bit from either the 'queue' program or wwsympa.fcgi...

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.
