The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[address@concealed]

You must check :
-1 is your postfix really use  /etc/mail/sympa_aliases as one source of 
aliases
-2 when sympa update /etc/mail/sympa_aliases is the new file installed 
in a way postfix can use the version


There is a FAQ about sympa + postfix aliases  : /etc/mail/sympa_aliases
