The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[christopher pax <address@concealed>]

im having a similar problem as this guy:
https://listes.cru.fr/sympa/arc/sympa-users/2011-06/msg00012.html

trust me that, the mail for sympa should be correct.
we have a mail forwarding process which forwards sympa at njit.edu mail
to sympa at lists.njit.edu

here are the errors I get when trying to distribute a message:
Dec  2 16:33:21 sydlpr1 sympa[29500]: Message::new() Cannot open
message file 
/home/sympa/spool/moderation/a_test_list_a84bbc90ea4a9139a624a7eb91bfee2b.distribute

/home/sympa/spool/moderation/a_test_list_a84bbc90ea4a9139a624a7eb91bfee2b.distribute


this is the command I send to sympa:
QUIET DISTRIBUTE a_test_list_for_pax a84bbc90ea4a9139a624a7eb91bfee2b

whats wrong?

Im sure that the
/home/sympa/spool/moderation/a_test_list_a84bbc90ea4a9139a624a7eb91bfee2b.distribute
exists and has the right permissions.

so why would it say, no such file or directory?


any to debug this, fix this, patch it.

please, I got 5 customers at my college asking for this. we got sympa for 
this.
