The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Igor Pruchanskiy <address@concealed>]

Hello Serge, 

Thank you for the reply. I was able to trace and fix the problem.

I am running a split domain set up with 3 postfix boxes and Sympa on a completely different server,

so there is some funky address rewriting was going on. When i originally set it up, i overlooked couple of

things, so it came back and bit me in the a** just now...

Basically Thomas was right in his original reply, telling me that I do not have correct entries in alias file, 

which i did, but they were never referenced because of my broken address rewriting.

I solved everything with virtual_regexp file on my mail servers that looks like this:

if !/listserver\.domain\.com$/
/^(.*)-owner\@(.*)$/ $2-$1-owner@listserver.domain.com
/^(.*)-editor\@(.*)$/ $2-$1-editor@listserver.domain.com
/^(.*)-request\@(.*)$/ $2-$1-request@listserver.domain.com
/^(.*)-bounces\@(.*)$/ $2-$1-bounces@listserver.domain.com
/^(.*)-subscribe\@(.*)$/ $2-$1-subscribe@listserver.domain.com
/^(.*)-unsubscribe\@(.*)$/ $2-$1-unsubscribe@listserver.domain.com
endif

This is a catch-all for all domains and all lists, so now mail for 

address@concealed gets rewritten as address@concealed,

which Sympa understands.

if/endif has to be there to avoid crazy recursion because both sides of the rewrite rules match ^(.*)-something\@(.*)$

also, do not indent the lines between if/endif or they won't work :)

 

thanks for pointing me in right direction!

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.
