I'm groping my way through configuring a new server. It's a testimony to Postfix and Sympa, I guess, that my knowledge has aged out of my head, because I haven't had to touch basic configuration for many years.

I am sending mail to, address@concealed, which is in a robot on divine.onlinepolicy.net, the list server. I am running Sympa 6.2.68, installed by RPM.

I have the following in Postfix's main.cf:

relay_domains = $mydestination,/etc/postfix//local-host-names

In that file, the robot domains are listed, one per line. Each has an A record (and an MX record for most, if not all) pointing to a local address on this system.

In master.cf:

sympa     unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=R user=sympa argv=/usr/libexec/sympa/queue ${recipient}
sympabounce unix -      n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=R user=sympa argv=/usr/libexec/sympa/bouncequeue ${recipient}

For transport, I have in Postfix's main:

transport_maps = regexp:/var/lib/sympa/transport_regexp

In the transport_regexp file:

/^.*-owner\@hosting\.onlinepolicy\.net$/ sympabounce:
/^.*\@hosting\.onlinepolicy\.net$/ sympa:

But mail fails with this in the Sympa log:

What am I forgetting to get mail delivered to the robot instead of the host?


I should add that I am getting this:

This is an automatic response sent by Sympa Mailing Lists Manager.
Impossible to distribute your message for list
'address@concealed' for the following reason:

The following address is not a known mailing list:
