I assume you are using a recent version of Sympa (the latest stable
is 6.2.62).

Please generate a dump file of subscribers, and show us the content
of it. The email addresses and display names (gecos) of users may be masked.


You may generate dump file by running:

  # sympa.pl --dump_users --list=<list-name>@<domain> --role=member

The dump file is saved in:

  /var/lib/sympa/list_data/<domain>/<list-name>/member.dump
