do you know what all the folders/file permissions/owners should be for alias address processing to work? (alias addresses not being created for new lists since the OS was updated) #1834
Since the OS on the listserver was updated, the sympa aliases are no longer being automatically created for any new lists.
This means that when a user sends to a new sympa list, the email is not delivered as the list address in the maillog is seen as 'User unknown'
Version
Sympa 6.2.68
Installation method
-------------------
manually
Expected behavior
-----------------
Alias addresses used by sympa should be automatically created on the creation of a new list on the sympa listserver through the web ui
Actual behavior
---------------
Since the OS on the listserver was updated, the sympa aliases are no longer being automatically created for any new lists.
This means that when a user sends to a new sympa list, the email is not delivered as the list address in the maillog is seen as 'User unknown' (see excerpt from maillogs below).
Apr 29 12:41:36 listserver sendmail[4242]: 43TBfaji004242: mynewlist@mydomain.com... User unknown
As the sender is not notified that delivery has failed, the sender is under the impression their message has been delivered to the group when it hasn't.
I have resolved for a particular new list by logging in as root to the listserver and manually running the command to add the sympa alias addresses to the new list e.g. /home/sympa/bin/alias_manager.pl add mynewlist mydomain.com
Something has changed since the update to cause this issue...I'm thinking it may be permissions to directories/user rights to files
Qs. Would you know what all the folders/file permissions/owners should be or is there any way of finding out what could have changed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
