The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Engels, Jan" <address@concealed>]

Hi,

we've also faced a problem after upgrading to 6.2.44 regarding this file.

Our sympa_aliases file (for postfix) is located under:

/var/lib/sympa/sympa_aliases

After upgrading from version 6.2.32 to 6.2.44 this file was not being
updated anymore, i.e. not including the aliases for lists which were
requested/created _after_ the sympa upgrade.

The problem which caused this error was the permissions set on folder:
/var/lib/sympa

With version 6.2.32 the permissions were set as follows:
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root

After upgrading to 6.2.44 we had to change them as follows:
drwxr-xr-x 9 sympa sympa

Otherwise the file could not be generated successfully. The error was:

wwsympa[18846]: err main::#1544 > main::do_move_list#11001 > 
Sympa::Spindle::spin#95 > Sympa::Request::Handler::move_list::_twist#131 > 
Sympa::Request::Handler::move_list::_move#195 > 
Sympa::Aliases::Template::del#173 Can't lock /var/lib/sympa/sympa_aliases

Cheers
Jan

| Hi,
| My sympa alias file seems to be missing lists which are defined as being
| "open" in the sympa.list_table. I think this was due to a problem during
| upgrade. Is there a script to bring the /etc/mail/sympa/aliases file
