Hi,

spawn-fcgi works with sympa but you only mention spawn-fcgi, perhaps 
sympa isn't running?

service sympa status

You can see how spawn-fcgi is launched with the following, it may offer 
some insight

sh -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/spawn-fcgi start

Yes, it's unfortunate there are no logs for spawn-fcgi.
