The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Russ Kepler <address@concealed>]

I'm running on a recent Linux release (Mandriva 2007, kernel 2.6.17) and am 
finding all the sympa messages in /var/sys/messgaes.  I've got the sympa.conf 
parameter set to:

## The syslog facility for sympa
## Do not forget to edit syslog.conf
syslog  local2.

and syslog.conf set appropriately (I think):

local2.*                         -/var/log/sympa/sympa.log

But the file /var/log/sympa/sympa.log remains empty.

What have I messed up here?
