Hi the logs show that the subscribtion messages are stored into the
bounce spool. So they are threaded by bounced with is not the right
deamon for that. They should be stored into /opt/sympa/spool/msg . You
can verify this moving one of thoses messages from
/opt/sympa/spool/bounce/bad/... to the right spool.

It look like if you have a wrong alias definition that pipe messages to
bouncequeue program instead of queue programm.
domain.com <http://domain.com>-testlist-subscribe:   "|
/opt/oec/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"

I have seen your second mail showing your alias. So probably you have 
wrong spool definition in /etc/sympa.conf

The best way to define spool in this file is to leave sympa default. You
shoukd just define the spool parameter :

spool /opt/sympa/spool

and remove other spool related parameters : queue, queuedigest,
queuemod, queueauth, queueoutgoing and queuebounce

Hope this help.
