Hello all, I hope you can offer some insight to the problem I am having.

I'm running Sympa 6.1.17 and Postfix 2.3.3

I have a test list set for 100% VERP

Sending messages works as expected.  When I send to a list that has subscribers that do not exist (to test bouncing), messages come back like this:

address@concealed

But postfix rejects the message:

status=bounced (unknown user: "bounce+user==a==merit.edu==test-mp-01")

I have this line in sympa_aliases:

bounce+*: "| /home/sympa/bin/bouncequeue address@concealed"

And this in main.cf

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/etc/mail/sympa/sympa_aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases,hash:/etc/mail/sympa/sympa_aliases
recipient_delimiter=+
default_verp_delimiters = +=
verp_delimiter_filter = -=+

What am I missing?  Why won't it attempt to deliver to Sympa's bouncequeue?

Does anyone else have this set up and working, and is willing to share their config with me?
