The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Jason Kania <address@concealed>]

Thanks for the help! The log_fail_output was not recognized by my version of exim4, but the missing sympa permissions were the issue for those who might hit the same issue. Adding user = sympa and group = sympa resolved it.

R is the router and T is the transport.

I'm using the following router for the list aliases:

vdom_aliases:
      driver = redirect
      allow_defer
      allow_fail
      domains = dsearch;/etc/exim4/virtual
      data = "${expand:${lookup{$local_part}lsearch*@{/etc/exim4/virtual/$domain}}}      retry_use_local_part
      user = sympa
      group = sympa
      pipe_transport  = address_pipe
      file_transport  = address_file
      no_more

You can get more information about the error by adding "log_fail_output" to the transport definition.
