Hi there
(reply or reply-all only sends emails to reply-to address, not back to 
the sympa list? I am on roundcube...)

here are my parameters. In case anything is missing at your site:

[root@beastly /usr/local/etc/rc.d]# grep -E 'fcg|symp' /etc/rc.conf
sympa_enable="YES"
#sympa_enable="NO"
spawn_fcgi_enable="YES"
#spawn_fcgi_enable="NO"
spawn_fcgi_app="/usr/local/bin/perl"
spawn_fcgi_app_args="/usr/local/libexec/sympa/wwsympa.fcgi"
spawn_fcgi_bindsocket="/var/run/sympa/wwsympa.socket"
spawn_fcgi_bindsocket_mode="0600 -U www"
spawn_fcgi_username="sympa"
spawn_fcgi_groupname="sympa"

(that looks same as you have).
fcgi can have problems if user and group are not 'sympa' (As in our 
configs):

Ignore the sendmail_refresh....ksh, In my opinion the mechanism to 
update sendmail aliases does not work, so I had to hack something via 
scripts.

Packages from ports:

don't know whether that helps

try running spawn_fcgi with the "-n" Option (see man 1 spawn-fcgi and
https://serverfault.com/questions/473944/how-can-i-debug-spawn-fcgi
)
