[Pkg-sympa-devel] Bug#859010: sympa at domain alias doesn't work

[Ander Punnar]

Package: sympa
Version: 6.2.16~dfsg-2
Severity: normal

since there's no sympa at domain alias in /etc/mail/sympa/aliases,
I wrote alias into /etc/aliases as hinted in upstream documentation:

> sympa: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue sympa at domain"

ran newaliases and sent mail with subject "help" to sympa at domain.

first error:

--8<-- snip --8<--
postfix/local to=<sympa at domain>
--8<-- snip --8<--
status=bounced (Command died with status 255: " /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue
sympa at domain". Command output: SYMPA internal error : unable to open
/etc/sympa/sympa/sympa.conf)

ok, chmod +r /etc/sympa/sympa/sympa.conf helped here

after that, second error:

--8<-- snip --8<--
postfix/local[17742] to=<sympa at domain>
--8<-- snip --8<--
status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue:
while opening queue file 'T.sympa at domain.1490795067.17743': Permission denied )

so I found #581849 and did chmod u+s /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue, but no help.

in syslog:
