/etc/mail is the domain of sendmail, and so all permissions must be what 
sendmail needs/requires.  Sympa edits a text file, the alaises file 
containing sympa lists, and then creates a new aliases.db file by 
invoking newaliases, which is a sendmail program.  Get sendmail working 
first, then create a directory for the sympa aliases file, and create a 
(text) file that sympa can edit.  Sendmail will take care of the 
permissions on the aliases.db file.
