The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Ruud Baart <address@concealed>]

as user sympa I can write in /tmp, /run/sympa, 
/usr/local/sympa/var/spool/sympa

However in /usr/local/sympa/var/spool/sympa/msg is something strange:

    sympa@monk:/usr/local/sympa/var/spool/sympa/msg$ echo kk>h1
    sympa@monk:/usr/local/sympa/var/spool/sympa/msg$ ls
    bad  h1

So, ok.
    sympa@monk:/usr/local/sympa/var/spool/sympa/msg$ rm h1
    rm: cannot remove 'h1': No such file or directory

Strange.

    sympa@monk:/usr/local/sympa/var/spool/sympa/msg$ ls
    bad

file is removed.
