6 days ago Since you have installed Sympa manually, upgrading the OS will not automatically upgrade Sympa or its dependent modules. So you have to upgrade (i.e., to re-install) Sympa's dependency modules manually. See the documentation to know how to (re-)install dependency modules. Note that, if you are using optional features such as LDAP, you will need to upgrade (to re-install) the specific modules for those as well.

1 day ago @ikedas Thanks for that.
As mentioned Sympa version is 6.2.68. So we ran the command to check the modules, see the output generated from that command below. From what I can see the required modules all appear to be OK. Do you think the optional modules should be updated?
[root@list ~]# /home/sympa/bin/sympa_wizard.pl --check
##############################################################################
# This process will help you install all Perl (CPAN) modules required by Sympa
# software.
# Sympa requires from 50 to 65 additional Perl modules to run properly.
# The whole installation process should take around 15 minutes.
# You'll first have to configure the CPAN shell itself and select your
# favourite CPAN server.
# Note that you might prefer to install the required Perl modules using your
# favourite DEB/RPM mechanism.
# Feel free to interrupt the process if needed ; you can restart it safely
# afterward.

Since the Operating System (OS) on the sympa list server 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
Manual
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 Operating System (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.
Steps to reproduce
Create a list, add the subscribers and then send an email to the list address. The email is not delivered as the list address in the maillog is seen as 'User unknown' (see excerpt from maillogs below). As the alias addresses have not been created, it does not work.
Apr 29 12:41:36 listserver sendmail[4242]: 43TBfaji004242: mynewlist@mydomain.com... User unknown
Additional information
The automatic creation of aliases as part of new list creation is currently not working. When the sympa server was originally set up the automatic creation of alias addresses when new lists were created was working. They appeared to stop working when the Server Operating System (OS) was updated so I am thinking some file permissions must have been changed as a result of the OS update. I believe it might be as simple as changing user/owner/file permissions of alias process/files but I don't know what they should be. Any help with this would be most appreciated.
Please Note: My workaround for the moment is to manually create the aliases for each new list that is created...I do this by 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 I logged this with the sympa-community as a question (#1834 opened on May 9 by [SympaNovice]) back in May but to-date I have got no responses.
