The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Brian Eliassen <address@concealed>]

Hello everyone,

I sort of figured out what is going on.  It appears that as I'm using  
my access file to prevent backscatter, it is causing some rather  
interesting problems.  My solution to get messages to route was the  
following:

Add actual list name to sympa_aliases:
scrapcombatships.com-testlist: "| /usr/local/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed 
"
scrapcombatships.com-testlist-request: "| /usr/local/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed 
"
scrapcombatships.com-testlist-editor: "| /usr/local/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed 
"
#scrapcombatships.com-testlist-subscribe: "| /usr/local/sympa/bin/ 
queue address@concealed"
scrapcombatships.com-testlist-unsubscribe: "| /usr/local/sympa/bin/ 
queue address@concealed"
scrapcombatships.com-testlist-owner: "| /usr/local/sympa/bin/ 
bouncequeue address@concealed"
address@concealed: scrapcombatships.com-testlist

Having that "address@concealed:" helps to prevent the  
"User unknown" error when I did a "sendmail -bv address@concealed 
".  However, "User unknown" still appeared in my logs when I actually  
tried to send a message.  This had me perplexed as no one else is  
seeing this so I asked myself, "what am I doing differently than most  
people?"  The answer was using my "access" file to prevent  
backscatter.  What is backscatter?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_%28email%29

So I added the following to my access file:
To:address@concealed        RELAY

BINGO!  E-mail started being delivered.  Of course, this causing the  
following error which I can use some assistance on.  I have no idea  
why it's happening as I've told my robot to "process_archive off" but  
it's still trying to archive messages:
Feb 17 15:11:19 frodo archived[22009]: [ID 702911 local1.notice]  
notice main:: Archiving address@concealed. 
1424214670.22004.0 for list address@concealed

notice tools::save_to_bad() Saving file /address@concealed 
 to /address@concealed

I have no idea what file is missing.  I have a ~sympa/list_data/ 
scrapcombatships.com/testlist/archives which is getting a  
"last_message" file so something is going in there.

And yes, ~address@concealed/2015-02 does have  
"arctxt" and "index" within it so those are being created too.

But hey, at least the messages are being delivered so that's a major  
improvement.

Thanks to everyone who helped me to get this far!

Brian
