If there are any mailing list and exim experts out there I would
appreciate a second set of eyeballs on what I've done.

First, I moved all of the sympa specific aliases into a separate
aliases file (/etc/aliases.sympa). Then I added the following to
exim's 'TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION' section:
----- Begin TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION -----
sympa_list_pipe:
driver = pipe
user = sympa
group = sympa
return_fail_output
----- End TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION -----
And this to exim's 'DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION' section:
----- Begin DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION -----
sympa_lists:
driver = aliasfile
search_type = lsearch
file = /etc/aliases.sympa
pipe_transport = sympa_list_pipe
----- End DIRECTORS CONFIGURATION -----
I put the above after the system_aliases: and before the userforward:
sections.
I had to take the domain part out of the aliases (that is, the part to
the left of the colon) in /etc/aliases.sympa in order to get it to work. I
believe there is an option in the exim config that will allow domains
in the alias file but I don't know what it is. My /etc/aliases.sympa
looks like this:
----- Begin aliases.sympa -----
#-- SYMPA begin
## Aliases used for the sympa mailing-list manager
sympa: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue sympa"
sympa-request: postmaster
sympa-owner: postmaster
listmaster: postmaster
#-- SYMPA end
#----------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sympa-test: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
sympa-test-request: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
sympa-test-owner: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/bouncequeue sympa-test"
sympa-test-unsubscribe: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
sympa-test-subscribe: "| /usr/lib/sympa/bin/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
#
----- End aliases.sympa -----
Hope this helps,
Omen
