Hi,

I manually created the mappings and got things to work.

Maybe there is something going on with the Ubuntu 24.04 LTC. Anyone know
of an issue with the Ubuntu packages ?

Here are directions on how to create the sympa postfix mailing maps
manaully:

1) create test list [ I created 'test']

2) In postfix: append your list aliases to the alias file you specified.

#file: /etc/sympa/aliases.sympa.postfix
#list test
test: "|/usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue test"
test-request: "|/usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue test-request"
test-owner: "|/usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue test-owner"

3) Rebuild the alias index:
postalias hash:/etc/sympa/aliases.sympa.postfix

4) rebuild sympa files
rebuild sympa databases ?
/usr/lib/sympa/bin/sympa_newaliases.pl --domain testlist.example.net

5) restart the sympa service.
systemctl restart sympa
6) reload the postfix configuration
postfix reload config
