The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Brendon Oliver <address@concealed>]

Hi there,

I'm having a problem getting the creation of aliases working on a server with 
postfix.

I am running configure with:
--with-newaliases=/usr/sbin/postalias \
--with-newaliases-arg='"-o -p hash:/etc/mail/sympa_aliases"'

but when creating a new mailing list via the web UI, /etc/mail/sympa_aliases 
is updated, but /etc/mail/sympa_aliases.db is not.  The system logs show:

Apr 14 00:28:14 myhost postfix/postalias[31211]: fatal: usage: postalias 
[-Nfinoprsvw] [-c config_dir] [-d key] [-q key] [map_type:]file...
Apr 14 10:28:15 myhost wwsympa[15280]: admin::install_aliases() 
admin::install_aliases : Unable to run newaliases

However, if I edit alias_manager.pl and replace:
my $alias_wrapper = '/opt/sympa/bin/aliaswrapper';

with:
my $alias_wrapper = '/usr/sbin/postalias -o -p hash:/etc/mail/sympa_aliases';

... then creating a new list via the web UI works just fine.  
Both /etc/mail/sympa_aliases and /etc/mail/sympa_aliases.db get updated 
correctly.

FWIW, I've checked the aliaswrapper - it's installed with perms 4750 
root/sympa.  Also, /etc/mail/sympa_aliases and /etc/mail/sympa_aliases.db 
have permissions 0644 sympa/sympa.

Any suggestions as to what the problem might be, or what I might have missed?

Thanks & regards,

- Brendon.
