I'm running Postfix 3.5.6, and in the process of replacing GNU Mailman
2.1.33 (which is EOL) with Sympa 6.2.56. I have everything working,
finally, EXCEPT that Postfix cannot deliver to Postfix lists.
I've made Sympa's queue directory group-writeable by Postfix and all of
its maps group-readable. The following are all relevant postfix
configuration variables that mention either mailman or Sympa:
local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname
$alias_maps
alias_maps = lmdb:/etc/postfix/aliases
lmdb:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
hash:/etc/sympa/sympa_aliases
alias_database = lmdb:/etc/postfix/aliases
lmdb:/var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
hash:/etc/sympa/sympa_aliases
transport_maps = lmdb:/etc/postfix/transport
hash:/etc/sympa/transport.sympa
hash:/etc/sympa/sympa_transport
relay_recipient_maps = lmdb:/etc/postfix/relay_recipients
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/sympa/virtual.sympa
virtual_mailbox_domains = hash:/etc/sympa/transport.sympa
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/sympa/transport.sympa
hash:/etc/sympa/sympa_transport
hash:/etc/sympa/virtual.sympa
Here's the contents of /etc/sympa/sympa_aliases:
#--- caerllewys-t...@caerllewys.net: list transport map created at 02

caerllewys-t...@caerllewys.net sympa:caerllewys-t...@caerllewys.net

sympa:caerllewys-test-unsubscr...@caerllewys.net
caerllewys-test-ow...@caerllewys.net
sympabounce:caerllewys-t...@caerllewys.net
Here's the sympa: service definitions from master.cf:
sympa unix - n n - - pipe
flags=hqRu null_sender= user=sympa argv=/usr/libexec/sympa/queue
${nexthop}
sympabounce unix - n n - - pipe
flags=hqRu null_sender= user=sympa argv=/usr/libexec/sympa/bouncequeue
${nexthop}
But when I try to sent a terst message to my test list, Postfix reports:
<caerllewys-t...@caerllewys.net>: unknown user: "caerllewys-test"
And when I run newaliases:
minbar:root:/etc/sympa:55 # newaliases
postalias: warning: /etc/sympa/sympa_aliases, line 2: name must be local
postalias: warning: /etc/sympa/sympa_aliases, line 3: name must be local
postalias: warning: /etc/sympa/sympa_aliases, line 4: name must be local
postalias: warning: /etc/sympa/sympa_aliases, line 5: name must be local
postalias: warning: /etc/sympa/sympa_aliases, line 6: name must be local
postalias: warning: /etc/sympa/sympa_aliases, line 7: name must be local
Clearly I have something misconfigured, but it is not obvious to me
what. Can anyone point out my error?
sympa_transport, transport.sympa, and virtual.sympa are empty. Could
this be the cause of my problem?
