Dear list,

We're having an issue with our automatic lists. Every time there is
mail for a new automatic list, the new list is created,
/etc/mail/sympa_aliases is updated but sympa_newaliases.pl just seems
to hang forever, and mail queues up in /home/sympa/spool/automatic. No
errors reported in /var/log/mail.log nor /var/log/sympa.log. If I kill
the sympa_newaliases.pl process, then the mail is processed normally.
The hopefully relevant info is:

- -sympa-6.1.22

- -From /etc/sympa.conf:
 aliases_program /home/sympa/bin/sympa_newaliases-wrapper

- -From /home/sympa/bin:
 -rwxr-xr-x  1 sympa sympa  10284 Aug 21  2014 sympa_newaliases-wrapper*
 -rwxr-xr-x  1 sympa sympa   6246 Aug 21  2014 sympa_newaliases.pl*

- -From /etc/postfix/main.cf
 alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/etc/mail/sympa_aliases
 alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap_aliases.cf,
hash:/etc/mail/sympa_aliases

- -From /etc/mail:
 -rw-rw-r--   1 root sympa 38548 Sep  7 11:17 sympa_aliases
 -rw-rw-r--   1 root sympa 53248 Sep  7 11:18 sympa_aliases.db

- -From the process table, the process that hangs:
sympa    18441 18432  3 12:41 ?        00:01:09 /usr/bin/perl
/home/sympa/bin/sympa_newaliases.pl /etc/mail/sympa_aliases

I hope that somebody can shed some light on this!
Many thanks in advance,

Gerard Ranke
