queue needs to be executable by anybody + Set UserID bit : 
-rwsr-xr-x   1 sympa    sympa       12907 Mar 19 14:17 queue

(but the make install should do this correctly)

Is the queue/ directory writeable for Sympa user ?

No, since queue has a Set-uid bit.

Try the same experience as Sympa user : 
        su sympa
        cat testmail | ./queue 0 sympa
