The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Steve Shipway <address@concealed>]

If I understand it correctly, you can't put a regexp alias in the sympa_aliases file as it is expected to contain a list that can be turned into a hash.

Instead, you need to create a regexp aliases file -- eg, alias.re -- and then link it in to postfix in the same place you have linked in the hash:sympa.aliases as pcre:alias.re.  This can contain a regexp match - which is what you need here - mapping to the command.

I'm away from my desk currently, so cannot read the manual and see our config, but this is what you need to do.

Subject: [sympa-users] Problems configuring Sympa + Postfix with VERP bounces

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?
