Hello everyone,

I'm at a loss currently as to what I did incorrectly to prevent Sympa from working within my Sendmail environment so any help would be greatly appreciated. I will try to supply as much information as possible to help anyone who wishes to assist. The basic problem is, the address for the mailing list is coming back "User unknown". This is because the name does not exist within an aliases file but the WebGUI did populate the sympa_aliases file but didn't add the actual list name. What did I do wrong?

Environment: Solaris 10, gcc 3.4.6, GNU make 3.82, perl v5.14.2, MySQL 5.6.22, Sympa 6.2b.3

My main robot is magnumopusproductions.com and it does not have a mailing list assigned yet.
My second robot is scrapcombatships.com and it has testlist so it's address is address@concealed. There are two subscribers in this list one being my local account and the other being a Gmail account I created.

The ~sympa/list_data/scrapcombatships.com directory is present and it's contents:
drwxrwxr-- 2 sympa sympa 3 Feb 4 23:29 archives
-rw-r----- 1 sympa sympa 714 Feb 4 03:11 config
-rw-r----- 1 sympa sympa 606 Feb 4 03:11 config.0
-rw-r----- 1 sympa sympa 10 Feb 4 03:11 info
-rw-r----- 1 sympa sympa 8 Feb 4 23:29 msg_count
drwxr-x--- 2 sympa sympa 2 Feb 4 03:11 shared
-rw-r----- 1 sympa sympa 27 Feb 9 19:07 stats

Here is the robot.conf file within /etc/sympa/scrapcombatships.com:
http_host www.scrapcombatships.com/sympa
host scrapcombatships.com
wwsympa_url http://www.scrapcombatships.com/sympa

Here is the /etc/mail/aliases file:
### System Redirection

scrapcombatships.com-testlist-unsubscribe: "| /usr/local/sympa/bin/ queue address@concealed"
scrapcombatships.com-testlist-owner: "| /usr/local/sympa/bin/ bouncequeue address@concealed"

Should I change the Sympa aliases in /etc/mail/aliases by adding the FQDN? Also, here is the error I get from sendmail:
sendmail -bv address@concealed
address@concealed... User unknown

Which is confirmed in the logs:
Feb 4 23:40:34 frodo sendmail[16502]: [ID 801593 mail.notice] t157eYgt016502: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<address@concealed>, relay=netblock-208-127-57-109.value.net [208.127.57.109] (may be forged), reject=550 5.1.1 <address@concealed>... User unknown

Any ideas to help get me back on the path to a solution would be greatly appreciated.

Brian
