Not sure if you've already gotten an answer, but it sounds
like you need to set up the basic system aliases for Sympa --
nothing should ever make it to the user sympa's mailbox,
because it should be redirected to a script.  These are the
general aliases I have on my machine:

sympa:          "| /var/sympa/bin/queue sympa"
listmaster:     "| /var/sympa/bin/queue listmaster"
bounc+*:        "| /var/sympa/bin/bouncequeue sympa"

Without the first one, your messages to sympa@ are never
getting through to the Sympa program itself, where they
need to go.
