The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Johann,

My first comment concerns the version of Sympa you are running : I know 
that Debian still distributes this old 3.x version of Sympa but, because 
there have  been a huge amount of bugfixes in the meanwhile, I consider 
fairly unsecure to run this version, today, in a production environment.

This being said :

The most basic reason would be that sympa.pl process would not be 
running. Try a ps (or init.d/sympa status) to check this point.
Anyway it would be a good idea to check sympa log files.

Check if the process is running and check log files.

Sympa only handles bounces related to a list. This one is not related to 
a list, therefore the return-path is set to sympa-request and you 
probably configured your aliases to forward it to postmaster.
