Sympa works fine with qmail with suitable scripts

I use this script as the alias_manager.  My qmail virtualdomains file has 
lines like this:

lists.iecc.com:sympa-lists.iecc.com

and I have this script as the alias manager. 

================
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
#
# add or remove aliases for a list

log() {
        logger -ip local2.info -t$(basename $0) "$*"
}

cd /home/sympa

log "$*"

list=${2:?"missing list name"}
domain=${3:?"missing domain"}

case "$1" in
add)
        echo "|bin/queue $list@$domain" > .qmail-${domain//./:}-$list
        echo "|bin/queue $list-request@$domain" > 
.qmail-${domain//./:}-$list-request
        echo "|bin/queue $list-editor@$domain" > 
.qmail-${domain//./:}-$list-editor
        echo "|bin/bouncequeue $list@$domain" > 
.qmail-${domain//./:}-$list-owner
        echo "|bin/queue $list-subscribe@$domain" > 
.qmail-${domain//./:}-$list-subscribe
        echo "|bin/queue $list-unsubscribe@$domain" > 
.qmail-${domain//./:}-$list-unsubscribe
        log "added aliases for $list@$domain"
        ;;
del)
        rm -f .qmail-${domain//./:}-$list .qmail-${domain//./:}-$list-*
        log "deleted aliases for $list@$domain"
        ;;
*)
        log "??? mystery $*"
        exit 1
esac
exit 0
================
