The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün <address@concealed>]

Hi Nick,

It seems that the log entries you provide don't correspond to the web 
list creation operation you're referring to : there should be references 
to the wwsympa process and the create_list feature.

Apart from that, if the alias_manager.pl fails, it should have an 
appropriate return code and ssaympa.fcgi should let you know. Did you 
dig in you Apache error logs, just in case.
The problem might be that the alias_manager.pl writes aliases in a file 
and qmail looks for them in a different place ; see 
http://www.sympa.org/manual/conf-parameters/part2#sendmail_aliases
