The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Theodore Knab <address@concealed>]

Thanks for the resonse Phil.

I am not sure this is permissions issue. I thought that earlier and
opened all the permissions.

My postfix user can read the /etc/sympa/aliases.sympa.postfix file.

I have these:


root@testlist:~# ls -lah /etc/sympa/aliases.sympa.postfix
-rwxrwxrwx 1 postfix sympa 584 Apr 16 09:21 /etc/sympa/aliases.sympa.postfix
root@testlist:~# ls -lah /etc/sympa/aliases.sympa.postfix.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 postfix sympa 12K Apr 16 13:26 
/etc/sympa/aliases.sympa.postfix.db

/etc/sympa directory
drwxr-xr-x  13 sympa   sympa 4.0K Apr 16 09:22 .

Do I need to put an alias in here for my new list or is that supposed to
happen automatically ? 

# Service aliases for Sympa.
sympa:                 "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue address@concealed"
listmaster:            "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue 
address@concealed"
bounce:                "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue 
address@concealed"
abuse-feedback-report: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue 
address@concealed"
