The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Ward, Michael" <address@concealed>]

Thanks – the third FAQ entry was the solution - it was a permissions thing. I must have mucked up the permissions on the sympa home directory at some stage. Set them to what was required and it looks like it’s all go.

 

Regards,

Michael Ward

Here is a list of things you should check :

I don't know if smrsh is also used by postfix...

I’m at a bit of a loss where to start with this one. I thought my sympa installation was working ok until I tried approving messages to a moderated list, and got undeliverable bounce messages for the emails sent to the sympa alias. It looks like sympa cannot process commands sent to sympa@<domain>.

No errors relating to this are logged in the sympa log – so it looks more like a postfix permissions problem? I’m reasonably sure I haven’t changed any permissions on the sympa folders, what other folders would be involved that could cause this problem?

Permissions on /home/sympa/bin/queue:
