I didn't. Does the package manager run it as post-install? I remember being 
asked for a database password; the password is in sympa.conf . Is it safe to 
run the wizard after creating lists?

I added that parameter and it now works. I created a third list (after 
catting 
the aliases to the end of the file) and it added the third list's aliases to 
the file and ran newaliases on that file. I then subscribed to all three 
lists, sent a message to one of them, and got it back.

I found it after getting the style sheet working. (The Sympa logo was showing 
as a broken image. This was caused by a wrong directory in the Apache config 
for the site. Fixing that also fixed the style sheet.) It was hard to see 
without the style sheet.
